2016, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles was rocked by the news that a priest, Erwin Mena, had been arrested on multiple charges--twenty-two felonies and eight misdemeanors--for crimes ranging from fraud to theft. </a>Shocking news at the best of times.&nbsp;</span></div><script src="https://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">_uacct =

inherit;">“We had always been raised not to question authority figures. He’s a priest — what he said is holy writ,” Joaquin Oviedo, a retired high school teacher, said. “We never imagined he was a phony.”&nbsp;</span>Problem was...Mena wasn't a priest. In fact, he was an imposter. Not only did he abscond with tens of thousands of dollars (and that's only what they know about) but weddings had to be re-officiated by legitimate priests, as did baptisms, christenings, and other sacraments. But lost in all the legal</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">&nbsp;mumbo-jumbo, there's a&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">more intim</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">ate, painful, human cost.&nbsp;</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">Mena's not the only such imposter. More fake priests are defrocked every year. In 2018, for example, a man named <a href="https://www.straitstimes.com/world/americas/fake-colombian-priest-unmasked-after-18-years" target="_blank">Miguel Angel Ibarra was exposed right before Christmas after eighteen years of posing as a Catholic priest.</a> The Colombian native was caught at the parish he'd been preaching at in Medina Sidonia, Spain after investigation proved he'd falsified his ordination paperwork.&nbsp;</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">Religion is a huge part of the human experience. Roughly a decade ago, the Pew Research Survey counted well over two billion Christians on this planet, and is now nearing two and a half billion worshipers. In recent years, there's been a huge rise in reports of dark or demonic hauntings. The Catholic Church was overwhelmed with requests for exorcisms, becoming so inundated that they were caught off-guard. This led to the establishment of a Course on Exorcism and Prayersof Liberation at the Pontifical University of Regina Apostolorum within the Holy See.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">What's that, you ask? It's literally exorcist school. Right now, the Vatican is working to place an exorcist into every diocese in the world, including here in the US. In fact, the exorcism course is a non-denominational class, where prospective exorcists from any religion can study the most dangerous form of spiritual warfare possible. If that doesn't convince you of the urgency the Holy See is approaching the rising threat caused to humanity by the diabolical, nothing will.&nbsp;</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">And this is where the paranormal and spiritual worlds collide in a very pragmatic and potentially lethal way. Although only about a third of America's nearly 200 dioceses have official exorcists who've been trained by a Catholic church, there are innumerable exorcists who claim to conduct spiritual warfare against demons outside of Catholicism. While some of these exorcists are sincerely going toe to toe with demonic entities, some are not. If the subject of a demonic attack gets hooked up with a fake exorcist, his situation can go from worse to worst.&nbsp;</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">Yes, I used worse/worst instead of bad/worse deliberately.&nbsp;</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">So how do you tell the difference between a real exorcist and a fake one? Well, it requires someone that most victims of demonic attacks are running a little short on. Meticulous attention to detail.&nbsp;</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">Let's clear something up at the onset. Do you have to get a Catholic priest to help you if you're under demonic attack? Once upon a time--and a surprisingly recent time, too--the clergy of protestant denominations would tell people who'd come to them for help that only a Catholic priest could exorcise a demon. Even then, though, the Catholic church wasn't exactly <i>happy</i>&nbsp;to help someone out. Especially after the release of William Peter Blatty's 1971 novel <i>The Exorcist</i>&nbsp;and the subsequent film two years later, exorcism suddenly came 'into fashion'. The tag line 'based upon a true story' titillated audiences, and the idea that demonic possession was actually real permeated pop culture almost overnight--something that rarely happened in an age before the internet.&nbsp;</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">In an interview I conducted with top US Exorcist Father Gary Thomas (San Jose, CA diocese) in 2017, the <i>Exorcist</i>&nbsp;craze caught the church off-guard because Catholicism itself was in a state of flux. There was a growing sense among the Catholic clergy that Satan and demons were allegorical--basically literary devices created to personify evil and give it a form of sentience.&nbsp;</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">But that's not necessarily the case. While sure, there's a definite trend towards tulpas (a belief so powerful that it essentially creates what the person/people believe in) as a possible explanation for the growing number of demonic cases in the US, there's still a significant number of exorcisms conducted in the world--not only by the Catholic Church but by ministers and priests of a wide number of religions. So no, you don't necessarily have to have a Catholic priest exorcise you or your family or your home.&nbsp;</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">But you need to do your due diligence. Make certain the clergyman you talk to is a practicing minister of a legitimate religion. Many scam artists operate under the umbrella of the "old Catholic Church" or the "Order of Exorcists" or "The Sacred Order of St, Michael the Archangel". Some purported exorcists claim to be able to train you to become one as well--for a nominal fee. The fact of the matter is that in my opinion, you need to go first to the minister of your own church and ask him or her for guidance. And before you let anyone drag you into a spiritual struggle with the demonic, you have to be--NEED to be--vetted medically and psychologically. That's a condition the Catholic Church has imposed in order for an exorcism to take place, and believe me: that's something you want to make absolutely certain happens.&nbsp;</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">The easiest way to find out if an exorcist isn't what he or she purports to be is to run the street address provided on their webpage through Google maps. If the street level view is of a strip mall (with a UPS Store or Mailboxes storefront in particular) or an apartment block, I wouldn't trust my health, safety, and spirituality to that alleged exorcist.&nbsp;</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">You could ignore me, naturally.

There are about to be a lot of new entries in the coming weeks. I'm researching my new books on the paranormal, Demonic Synchronicity (about common occurrences in pre-internet demonic hauntings) and The Bell Entity (why "Bell Witch" is an inhuman entity perpetrating one of the longest and most violent hauntings in America). I'll be investigating several sites just as soon as the quarantines lift, and I'll post my findings here. If nothing else, it should be a rip-roarin' spooky time.&nbsp;</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">But even that pales in comparison to what could happen to anyone who falls into the clutches of the paranormal parasites.

The spring is settling in. Leaves are fleshing out the trees. Crocuses, daffodils, and forsythia are blooming in my yard. When I stepped outside a few minutes ago in the earliest hours of a new day--March 30th, 2020--I could smell all the scents of an early Ohio spring, driven up the cliff this road winds along the edge of by the soft howl of winds still lingering from the storms that crashed overhead all last night and early today.<br /><br />But now? Now we're dancing to a horrible new tune and we don't know the steps.<br /><br /></div><div>We all had ample time to prepare for this, frankly. Years. All the bug-out people we laughed at a few months ago aren't worried about finding toilet paper <i>somewhere</i>&nbsp;tomorrow. Most of the rest of us are. I'm not because I'm married to the kind of man who's just built for crisis management. Sent him out for milk and he came back with twenty rolls of toilet paper, sixteen rolls of paper towels, and six boxes of tissues. Sent him out the next day for bread and he shows up with ten pounds of ground beef, five pounds of chicken, and a huge pork roast. My husband is a handy guy to have around. I'm lucky in that respect.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>But there's no guarantee matters will remain this way. Now that the quarantine--yes, I'm calling "social distancing" what it really is at its core--has been extended for a full month I find myself wondering how things will transpire after Pandemic Day Twenty...or Thirty...or Seventy-five.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Yesterday, that total had doubled. Tragically, that exponential growth is only too easy to calculate, and if I told you "you do the math", you'd be able to do that math easily and in your head. Math, never my favorite subject of learning, is even more loathsome now than it's ever been.<br /><br />Facts and figures combine, dancing in front of my eyes like a mural on a medieval ossuaries like a violently spinning <i>danse macabre</i>&nbsp;and no one gets to sit this dance out.

/></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">St. Nicholas Cathedral-Tallinn, Estonia <br />fragment 16th century painting</td></tr></tbody></table><br />During the Middle Ages in Europe, the <i>Danse Macabre</i> was an allegorical reference to the inevitability of Death in times of plague or epidemic. In some of Europe's oldest extant cemeteries, the <i>Danse Macabre</i> was portrayed by artists as a bacchanalia shared by mortals and the Grim Reaper, where they danced wildly, drank freely, and had orgies--a last hurrah before everyone's dance ended.<br /><br />Math, music, melody, macabre, mortality.<br /><br />A pandemic with a soundtrack.<br /><br />A way to tell Death to go fuck himself or to bring you a new bottle of wine.&nbsp;</div><div><br />You probably recognized the music, but not many people would recognize this as the&nbsp;<i>Danse Macabre, </i>composed&nbsp;by Camille Saint-Saens in 1874. The images are all depictions of the <i>Danse Macabre </i>from medieval Europe. In a harsh day to day life and faced with the horrors of smallpox or the bubonic plague, people looked to what they assumed would be their last few days as a time to sample all of life's pleasures if they could. That's what the <i>Danse Macabre</i> is all about really. I mean--if you're going to have black boils rise on your body with a high fever and terrible pain and you know those boils are going to literally explode, spraying contagious black pus all over everything then who cares if the old guy next door sees your boobs? In a world where "medicine" consisted of drinking nasty potions that were usually poisonous or getting your veins laid open with a rusty knife to allow the "evil humors" to leave your body, your survival rate wasn't all that great. So they celebrated the fun stuff in anticipation of the fatal stuff.<i>&nbsp;</i><br /><i><br /></i>But for us, things are different. Instead of partying like it's 1999 with all our friends while we wait to die, the world of medicine is totally different. Clean. Sterile, Fighting off the contagion while relieving the symptoms. We don't have a kegger and invite Death to come on in and do body shots of tequila. No, our <i>Danse Macabre</i> is much different.<br /><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/20/Dance-death-polish-17thC.jpg/468px-Dance-death-polish-17thC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="File:Dance-death-polish-17thC.jpg" border="0" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/20/Dance-death-polish-17thC.jpg/468px-Dance-death-polish-17thC.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Dance of Death,<br />Polish painting circa 1670</td></tr></tbody></table>Politics.<br /><br />Look--the plague isn't partisan. Coronavirus will kill liberals, conservatives, communists, socialists, monarchists, moderates, and dictators without bias or prejudice. This isn't a Red State/Blue State issue or problem. Look around you right now--is there any political base untouched by this pandemic? No. So if you're too evolved, too educated to get a blindfolded group sex party together to combat "social distancing" with an allegorical medieval character toting a scythe, then you don't need to get your information about the pandemic from a politician/elected official/minister/waste management/Geek Squad/Reddit/old dude down the street/Twitter/Facebook/partridge in a pear tree/Grim Reaper/blogger.<br /><br />You need to listen to the DOCTORS. Because right now? Medical researchers and physicians are the only ones who are providing information regarding the virus dispassionately and accurately. If you don't, you might as well invite the Devil to pick you up at five because what the politicians are feeding us as "facts" is actually all spin-doctored propaganda, devised with an eye toward the upcoming election. The doctors don't give a damn about their TV ratings or how much interaction their Tweets are getting. What they care about is advising the public on how best to avoid infection and that's primarily the information we all need.<br /><br />See, the end result of the <i>Danse Macabre</i> has always been the same. Once the music ends, the dance is over for all the dancers. They leave their mortal shells behind for the death details to pick up and they follow the Grim Reaper into Death. And if you get your "facts" from a politician, that's the outcome you're risking.<br /><br />So yes, our world doesn't seem to have changed much on the surface of things. But we all know--whether we admit it or not--that everything is totally different now than it was a month ago. We're facing a legitimate crisis that supersedes any global threat of my lifetime. It doesn't matter when this pandemic is finally brought to a close because COVID-19 is going to leave behind a world that's lost its innocent belief that our society is too advanced and tech-savvy to fall prey to a microbe.<br /><br />Hopefully, we'll all end up wiser when this is over. One of the best ways to ensure that happens is to decline the temptation to twirl in the arms of Death during our ultra-modern<i> Danse Macabre. </i>Politicians aren't going to solve this pandemic. They're as qualified to cure you as those medieval "physicians" with their rusty, bloodstained knives and their possets made of stones from a goat's stomach crushed with ivory and mixed with donkey bile.<br /><br />Whatever you do, sit out the <i>Danse Macabre</i>. For all our sakes.</div><div></div></div>Celina Summershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08581883122727085849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26892817.post-85595645132216362352020-03-23T07:50:00.000-04:002020-03-23T07:50:00.501-04:00The Real Pandemic Hidden Behind The Coronavirus Is Not What You ThinkI think we've all wondered at times if the world could survive a crisis.&nbsp;<script src="https://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">_uacct = "UA-1679002-1"; urchinTracker(); </script><br /><div><br /></div><div>For those of us who were kids in the 1970s and 80s, the catalyst of disaster was nuclear weapons. I'll never forget the day that I finally figured out that "duck and cover" wouldn't do anything but give us something to do right before we died. I was ten.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Then, of course, terrorism became the boogeyman. Not so much in small town or small city USA, which is where I've lived most of my life but in big cities. Washington. Los Angeles.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Manhattan.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>The past decade or so the agent of dystopian fear has been more imaginary. The Walking Dead, aka the zombie apocalypse. Yeah, not too scary for me. I write horror for fun.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>But now? Now we're looking at an antagonist that shouldn't have ever existed--a pandemic that so far cannot be halted with modern medicine. The fears of a pandemic have been an on-again, off-again nightmare for the past twenty years. Pretty much started for me when those f**king idiots were sending around anthrax in the wake of 9/11. Whether it was ebola or SARS, there was always something lurking around the corner that fizzled out before it impacted too many people in Europe and the US.<br /><br />Until now.<br /><br />I don't have words of wisdom for you that will explain all this. I don't have the medical training to discuss anything more than the most minor factoids that the CDC and common sense would dictate. That being said, however--<br /><br />Politics is something I <i>can</i>&nbsp;write about.<br /><br />Here's the situation in a nutshell. The past 12-15 years, the American government has been stagnated by party politics. No, I don't give a damn about either party. When you get right down to it, the Democrats are just as bad as the Republicans who are just as bad as the Democrats. I'd love to stack some more party names into that statement, but the fact of the matter is that we have no other viable parties. Corruption, back room deals, big industry and pharmaceuticals, special interest groups, PACs and SuperPACs, religious organizations, and lobbyists--that's who really controls the American government. Not the voters.<br /><br />Not us.<br /><br />Never has this been more apparent than now, during a global pandemic, when the US government couldn't get its shit together long enough to cross the aisle and come up with solutions to the crises now facing us. Yeah, I know. You've heard me snarling about the two-party system for years. But now it's no longer just a personal dislike. The COVID-19 virus has got me spooked and I'm not afraid to say it. And in the meantime, while you and me and billions of other people worldwide are staring down the barrel of the pandemic shotgun the United States government can't even agree on what's necessary to supply aid to its citizens who already are having to deal with supply shortages on food and other necessities, loss of pay for folks who live paycheck to paycheck or who are tipped employees, and a medical system that's already overwhelmed at the front end of this outbreak. With models of the outbreak leaning toward the peak infection rate in the US not coming until July, take a good look around you.<br /><br />We're living in a REM song.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/03/how-many-americans-are-sick-lost-february/608521/" target="_blank">An article from The Atlantic over the weekend </a>by Alexis Madrigal and Robinson Meyer traced the nightmarish incompetence of the federal government to give the medical and research sectors the ability to assertively track, diagnose, and treat the coronavirus. Their article also gave viral expert and research scientist Trevor Bedford a platform to share some truly alarming facts.<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />If there is one thing about the novel coronavirus that you must understand, it’s that it is a firecracker with a long fuse. Here is what the explosion looks like: Every six days, the number of people infected by the disease doubles, according to estimates from Bedford and other epidemiologists. At the start of February, Bedford now believes, the United States had something like 430 infections; if American interventions have done nothing to slow the disease’s spread, then his simple calculations show that more than 120,000 people could be infected by this weekend. Because of the great uncertainty, it’s probably most appropriate to give Bedford’s range: About 60,000 to 245,000 people are now infected with COVID-19 in the United States.</span></blockquote><br />So if the current models are correct and Americans won't see the virus peak until July, we're looking at four and a half months of dealing with the ramifications of the coronavirus. Think about it: life without schools, churches, and for most Americans their jobs and/or income. Sheltering at home turns into an elongated vigil, and when you do have to run out to the store or the bank then you face three weeks when every little cough or sneeze feels significant. And if you catch coronavirus, you face quarantine for weeks by a medical community that's woefully understaffed and undersupplied.<br /><br />There is no one person to blame. The blame can be spread around evenly between Democrats and Republicans, the House of Representatives and the Senate, the CDC and state and local health monitoring facilities. The CDC didn't confirm community transmission of COVID-19 until February 26 even though there were already at least sixty known cases in the US.<br /><br />And the White House. Oh yes, plenty of blame to be slathered onto the Oval Office where the President of the United States first mocked the virus and delayed federal response to the eruption of the medical and financial impacts of COVID-19 through January, February, and over half of March before Trump assembled his too-little too-late task force. And no, that's not partisan. That's a fact. Just a few examples:<br /><br /><a href="https://factba.se/transcript/donald-trump-speech-kag-rally-manchester-new-hampshire-february-10-2020" target="_blank">At a February 10 campaign rally in Manchester, New Hampshire</a>: "And by the way, the virus, they're working hard.

And just last night, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/22/us/politics/coronavirus-economic-rescue-plan.html" target="_blank">the Democrats killed an Emergency Economic Relief legislation in the Senate</a>--$1.8 trillion dollars of legislation desperately needed to help Americans financially and shore up the US stock market.<br /><br />You know--maybe there were valid reasons for voting that aid package down. Maybe there were inherent flaws or oblique advantages for the big-pharmaceutical corporations that support Trump and other Republicans. But in the end, that doesn't matter to most Americans. What does matter right now is feeding their kids or finding things like meat, milk, fresh vegetables, and paper products in the grocery store. And as we stare into the face of what's looking dangerously more like another depression instead of a recession, Americans don't give a damn about someone getting a bridge package in Timbuktu approved. All they care about is getting the help they need, and it's glaringly obvious that nothing is more important to the politicians in Washington than scoring off their opponents no matter what they toss aside in the process.<br /><br />So yes, Americans. Your government has failed you yet again, only this time we're not talking about some stupid impeachment trial. We're talking about decisions being made, legislation being killed, delusions being reported as fact. We're talking about a legislature that doesn't seem to care how many people are sick or dying because all they really care about is winning their reelection campaigns. We're talking about a President of the United States who's now glorifying himself as the hero of the pandemic by keeping COVID-19 when just in the past month he's mocked the virus, downplayed its importance, stalled a federal response that might have saved lives, and turned the pandemic into a polarizing morass of conflicting information so heinous that his own team has to step forward and correct or refute what Trump said just moments before.<br /><br />We're talking about the real pandemic in this country: a two-party political system that should be held responsible for the spread of the virus in America and every single death that occurs because the patient was not diagnosed early enough or the hospitals and physicians don't have the equipment they need to help.<br /><br />The real pandemic here? The escalating inadequacy of the federal government to effect positive change on behalf of its citizens. That's the real diagnosis of this disaster. The federal government is nothing more than a roiling, diseased collection of Typhoid Marys infecting the American way of life. And even when there is a vaccine for coronavirus (and we're realistically looking at 1-2 years before there's any sort of preventative or cure for COVID-19) the self-injected infection of the federal government will still remain and the citizens of this country are the physicians who are baffled about how to halt the spread of the disease.<br /><br />Physician, heal thyself. Eliminate the real disease that's centralized in DC. Kick them ALL out and start over because this catastrophe could have been avoided with just one politician willing to take a stand on behalf of all the rest of us. We were failed by the people we elected to represent our basic existence in this nation.<br /><br />So yes, physician, heal thyself and remember that there is a cure for the real pandemic here. It's called "Election Day".<br /><br /></div>Celina Summershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08581883122727085849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26892817.post-14247716424296191052019-12-28T20:00:00.000-05:002019-12-28T20:00:00.222-05:00Preview--House of Wills: It Feels Evil<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW242509716 BCX0" style="background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative;"><div class="Paragraph SCXW242509716 BCX0" paraeid="{9d5ca786-edfe-4ff4-8955-116a9c49f373}{151}" paraid="1823480515" style="background-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-indent: 48px; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=26892817" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Author's note: This preview was written sitting inside the main chapel of the House of Wills the first day that the Travel Channel's show, It Feels Evil, was shot.

Perfect conditions&nbsp;for a landmark paranormal investigation.&nbsp;The team heads into the building for its first look at the location, and there’s a definite sense of unease pulsing around all of them.&nbsp;Although it’s still daylight, the interior of the building is dark. The&nbsp;central&nbsp;chapel would be pitch black and silent if it wasn’t for the&nbsp;thunderstorm pounding outside&nbsp;and the chamber open to the sky.&nbsp;But despite the wind that is shrieking through the narrow corridors and winding staircases, the air is heavy…humid…and smells of decay, death, and rot. I always thought something about the building was disconcerting.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="separatorCxSpLast" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">Sitting inside it, I now see why.&nbsp;</span><span style="line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The House of Wills has a definite sense of purpose. A will of its own, if you’ll pardon the pun. The atmosphere is watchful and definitely sports&nbsp;a malevolent edge.&nbsp;There’s no way to escape the&nbsp;isolation&nbsp;of this ravaged beauty&nbsp;on a&nbsp;June afternoon that feels more like March, but it’s only&nbsp;<i>inside&nbsp;</i>the building that one gets the sense that something’s not quite right.&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The House of Wills is cold, cold, cold and its atmosphere presses in upon you like the grave.&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Through the gaping windows on the&nbsp;second-floor&nbsp;gallery, the sky looks orange and the tree branches are whipping from side to side. The chapel has gone from&nbsp;repressive&nbsp;to&nbsp;malevolent.&nbsp;The House of Wills is nothing like it was in its heyday. Once it was a Turnverein, a German social club&nbsp;that promoted the ideals of&nbsp;Eugenics—a theory which would become the foundation of Hitler's genocide in WWII—in the twilight of the nineteenth century. Then,&nbsp;in a staggering reversal of purpose, the building served as&nbsp;a Jewish school in the dawn of the twentieth century. Most famously it was a&nbsp;funeral home that was&nbsp;one of the largest African-American-owned businesses in the US&nbsp;for over three decades. This ruined building went, within the space of fifty years, from a building whose owners espoused beliefs that led to the Holocaust but then became a power structure at the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement.&nbsp;&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">How would such an volte-face affect a building?

LeVey took&nbsp;Aleister&nbsp;Crowley’s Thelemic cult and his writings on&nbsp;magick&nbsp;and turned them into a religion (and profitable business venture) in the San Francisco of the 1960’s.&nbsp; Freeman uses the&nbsp; former House of Wills not only as his curated art gallery, but also for religious purposes.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There’s never been a place more perfectly suited to be haunted, but that’s not what brings&nbsp;the team&nbsp;to Cleveland.&nbsp;The House of Wills was designed to channel, store, and conduct energy.&nbsp;&nbsp;The building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, was built by renowned area architect Frederic&nbsp;Striebinger,&nbsp;a&nbsp;thirty-second&nbsp;degree Mason, in 1900.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">That energy is what we're chasing.<span style="line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This chapel was once a&nbsp;consecrated site, where thousands of families attended the&nbsp;Christian&nbsp;last rites of loved ones.&nbsp;But since the death of J. Walter Wills in 1971,&nbsp;the building’s been desecrated, first by the&nbsp;family who owned it, then by the gangs and drug dealers who took it over when it was abandoned. Now, the building would be almost unrecognizable to the people who once loved it.&nbsp;<span style="line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Something inimical and cautious&nbsp;lurks&nbsp;among these relics of Egyptian grandeur—fake&nbsp;relics, of course. A&nbsp;reproduction sarcophagus&nbsp;shares&nbsp;the space with a massive carved head of Baphomet, the horned god of&nbsp;Satanic worship,&nbsp;and the crumbling plaster of art deco glory. This old building&nbsp;still possesses dignity in her&nbsp;aged&nbsp;splendor, but has been cannibalized by her own children and desecrated by her own community. You can tell that desecration has been dark for it is never daytime in this place. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In the House of Wills, it is always night.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">On the former chapel's stage, an ornate casket sits upon a bier, flanked by two massive red-upholstered chairs that look like thrones.&nbsp;In front of one throne, ritual candles await their time to&nbsp;burn. The uses the building is put to are painfully obvious. The House of Wills is&nbsp;decaying faster than its owner can repair it.&nbsp;For all practical purposes, there’s nowhere in the world better suited to the task the team has been set: researching what we're beginning to believe may be a demonic attachment.&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I have to wonder if it's wise to expect&nbsp;<i>this</i>&nbsp;team, several of whom have been battling against their own demons for years, to attempt contact with any diabolical agency.&nbsp;The House of Wills, therefore, is both a battleground and a research facility, but hopefully&nbsp;will lead us all down a path that hopefully will lead to greater knowledge.&nbsp;&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Is it worth the risk?

I'm as sensitive as a brick so I'm used to everyone else around me being able to sense there's something about a site that just isn't right. Other folks have the instincts that lead them to paranormal activity. Tim Wood, our lead investigator, is one of the best guys I've ever seen when it comes to that. I tend to get dragged into paranormal synchronicities (like what happened when we were conducting the Zozo experiment) or I piss something off and get slapped upside the back of my head (like numerous trips to the haunted fields and cave involved in the Bell Witch haunting). <o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But in this moment, right after I first set foot into the House of Wills, I'm overwhelmed by the cold certainty that this is not a place to be trifled with.&nbsp;<span style="line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Aside from the general decrepitude of the building, it's pouring rain outside. And inside. That's rendered almost every square foot of floor into a slick, threatening expanse to navigate. Despite the fact that it's summer, the interior of this building is freezing. I'm usually the person who walks into an alleged haunted site without concern, automatically looking for anything that could debunk evidence previously caught by other teams or witness accounts. At the House of Wills, that's not possible.&nbsp;<span style="line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Not just because it's spooky.

Sorry it's a little late--holidays and all that.</i><br /><br />A few things to remember when looking at this website—many paranormal groups (including Ghost Adventures) have taken that website as gospel and reproduced it word for word. Never accept a “history” on a website as fact. Also, if there are paranormal instances cited throughout a history article, up to and including the names of alleged spirits and even what they say/do, that usually means someone doesn’t want you looking at the real history for whatever reason and want to distract you with a “look at what our ghosts do!!!” moment. But if the history is wrong, chances are that one or more of the alleged spirits is either what a psychic claimed to have sensed or imagination, providing a false validation of what’s really going on. So let’s take a look at what the o want us to think and what we know:<br /><br />Website--From before 5000 B.C. to around 1000 A.D the area was the site of Native American encampments. Artifacts from this time can still be found here. Archeologists (sic) have provided evidence showing that Native Americans once lived in the area where the house currently sits. There have also been signs of a sweat lodge where Native Americans performed rituals. An ancient Indian burial ground is thought to be under the house.<br /><br />Fact—okay anything from 5000 BC to 1000 AD isn’t Native American. It’s prehistoric. We’re talking about predating the Incan and Mayan peoples, and the dates cited cover both the archaic and the late Prehistoric period. HOWEVER, the period after 1000 AD is and should be the points of reference here. There’s no record of archaeologists (correct spelling) ever documenting evidence that proves Native Americans lived on/near the land where the house sits. There’s certainly not any record I can find of a dig conducted there. There’s no record of a sweat lodge. There’s no record of an Indian burial ground either, and if there WAS one under the house we should be able to record that by getting into the crawl space. (If there’s no crawl space, then there’s no way whatsoever that anyone knows what’s under the house for the simple reason that no one can get there.) All that being said, the area around San Antonio was occupied relatively continuously by indigenous people until the 18th and 19th centuries, when the Native American tribes were continuously forced west by the encroachment of European settlers and it would be odd if they hadn’t camped near a water source, especially during the summer when these tribes migrating for hunting.<br /><br />According to the <a href="https://www.sanantonio.gov/Mission-Trails/Prehistory-History/History-of-San-Antonio/Native-American-Occupation" target="_blank">San Antonio Office of Historical Preservation</a>, there were hundreds of Native American tribes in central Texas during the historic period from 1700 AD on, but these tribes are the worst documented in the historical and archaeological records.<br /><br /><br />Website: On September 18, 1842 General Adrian Woll, Sam Houston and his men massacred more than 60 Mexican soldiers during the bloody Battle of Salado. Their bodies were left to rot where they fell. Only one Texan lost his life, Steven Jett, during the battle.<br /><br /><br /><br />Fact: That the battle took place there is apparently close to the truth, but General Adrien Woll was the French-Mexican general of the Mexican troops, while the Texans were led by Colonel Matthew Caldwell of the Texas Rangers. Woll commanded over 1600 Mexican and Cherokee troops against Caldwell’s militia of right around 200. There’s no mention of Sam Houston being anywhere close to this battle, since in 1842 he was serving his second non-consecutive term as President of Texas and was in, appropriately enough, Houston. Caldwell’s militia defeated Woll, who retreated back to Mexico, leaving his 60 dead behind. And yes—only one Texan lost his life and was interred properly while the Mexicans were left to rot.<br /><br /><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I-O6Vr2EwEc/XgYswiDhwgI/AAAAAAAACDg/bp-r7yFrCaojAvnLtrMU0qPA71HV2h-FgCEwYBhgL/s1600/Salado_creek.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="927" data-original-width="686" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I-O6Vr2EwEc/XgYswiDhwgI/AAAAAAAACDg/bp-r7yFrCaojAvnLtrMU0qPA71HV2h-FgCEwYBhgL/s320/Salado_creek.gif" width="236" /></a>Website: The Prescott House was built on the property after the civil war.<br />Sebastian L Rippstein (2/4/1824 - 7/14/1896), born in Switzerland, and his wife, Hemrieke "Betsy" Ackermann Rippstien (6/1/1834 - 9/15/1911), born in Germany, settled the land in 1867. The San Antonio Conservation Society shows that they built a stone house barn and milking barn on the property. Their children were Gustav Juilan (1851-1920), Henriettta Rippstein Seay (1854-1932), Bertha "Betty" Dorthea Rippstein Schaefer (1858-1920), Ida Rippstein Benfer (1870-1951), and Albert Rippstein (1874-1941).<br /><br /><br />Fact: You can see on this map the layout of the battle. About a third of the way down, you see the dark square that represents the Prescott house on top of a hill overlooking the river. What I find interesting about this is that there’s no mention of the Prescotts ever owning that property. (more on this confusion later) The first structures built on the property were built in 1867 by the Rippstein family, German immigrants who started a dairy business. The barn and dairy barn are purported to have been built by them. But the house that’s there now is NOT the house of the Rippsteins as best I can tell and definitely isn’t the Prescotts’ house either.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x14oXe4lgNI/XgYvEgLta3I/AAAAAAAACDs/eueCMb3cYpQ6io4MIJ73iUEF_szAJKHmgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Capture.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="578" data-original-width="1186" height="193" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x14oXe4lgNI/XgYvEgLta3I/AAAAAAAACDs/eueCMb3cYpQ6io4MIJ73iUEF_szAJKHmgCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/Capture.PNG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br />Now in this next shot, you can get a glimpse of the Black Swan Inn with the huge barns behind it, a cemetery in front of it, and across what appears to be a major road is Salado Creek. The historical marker for the Battle of Salado Creek is just outside and to the west of the gates to the BSI on Holbrook Road, which is the thoroughfare between the BSI and the Salado River…<br /><br />Wait a second. I have to wonder where in the heck is the Salado River on BSI’s side of the river? Because of the claims of a natural spring on the property, you’d logically think they’d be on/near the river. Also, topographically, it’s obvious that the battle itself was fought with the Texan militia blocking the Mexican army’s advance from positions tight up against the river and behind the Prescott house which is right about where the road is today.<br /><br />But that’s not all. As you can see, the big barns are behind the BSI, but on the map of the battle the barns the website claimed were part of the Prescott property are not there. There’s one outbuilding shown on the property, and it’s tight up against the big house. So the barns currently on the BSI property can’t have anything to do with the Prescotts, and were probably built in/after 1867 when the Rippsteins bought the property.<br /><br />There’s a reason for that (and subsequently a reason that the big house wasn’t built until 1901-02). Many European farmers built two story barns with the animals on the ground floor and the people on an upper floor. They do that in Europe for the extra heat the animals give off. Obviously in Texas, this would suck profusely 7 months of the year. My guess is the “stone house barn” referenced on the website is what the owner’s talking about. That means the Rippsteins and the Mahlers, who bought the property twenty years later in 1887, lived in a residence inside/above the cows in the barn below until having the first house built on the property—but that house wasn’t the house that’s currently there.<br /><br />Website: German immigrants, Heinrich "Henry" Mahler (9/2/1840 - 4/18/1925) and Marie Biermann Mahler (7/15/1850 - 7/25/1923), bought the property on January 10, 1887. They built the first house on the property in 1887 (Bexar County Appraisal District shows 1902 and San Antonio Conservation Society shows 1901 for the year built). Their children were Samuel George Mahler (1/21/1876 - 4/21/1937), Louisa Catherine Mahler Prange (11/1/1879 - 1/10/1918), Sara "Suzie" Mahler Schlegel (2/27/1882 - 3/23/1958), Daniel Henry Mahler (11/11/1884 - 5/27/1950). They also built a milking barn and named the farm Bluebonnet Dairy. Henry and Sam were known as the Cotton Kings. The Mahlers ran the dairy farm here until the mid-1930s.<br /><br />Fact: What makes this odd is that the website claims the Mahlers built the house in 1887 BUT the San Antonio Conservation Society AND the Bexar County Appraisal District don’t show a house (that didn’t involve cow storage) built on the property until 1902/1901 respectively. Also, why were Henry and son, Sam, known as the “Cotton Kings” when they were running a 200-acre dairy farm? Shouldn’t they be known as the Cow Kings or the Cream Kings instead? So there are multiple red flags here that lead me to believe substantial parts of this section of the history have been manufactured instead of researched.<br /><br />Website: After Mahler’s wife passed away, he followed suit two years later from lovesick grief. Heinrich also haunts the Milking Barn and roams the property, including inside the main house. His daughter, Sara "Suzie" pulls pranks in a building located behind the Black Swan.<br /><br />Facts: Case in point. First off, there’s no way anyone dies of grief. That’s BS until and unless a proper medical association assigns “lovesick grief” as an actual diagnosis. I don’t expect that to happen anytime soon. Second off, again with stating anything paranormal-related as an actual fact. This continues to deteriorate as the "history" continues. Note that Suzie is Henry's daughter. This becomes important.<br /><br />Website: Carl Mahler from Germany had a daughter named Sophia Louise Mahler Meyers, a spinster who lived in the house until she was 82, but haunts the house as an 8-year-old girl singing and laughing and known for playing tricks on people.<br /><br />Fact: There’s no context for this. We don’t know who Carl is, or why he lived there. This is the first time he's mentioned. Same thing for his daughter, who is apparently stuck there as an 8-year-old girl. But here's the most telling clue that something about this "history" stinks to high heaven. Just one paragraph ABOVE this claim, it's stated that a sweet little Suzie was the daughter of Henry Mahler. There's no Carl mentioned, or a Sophia despite them purportedly both living in the house as part of the same family. Now there are TWO mischievous girl ghosts that are the SAME AGE.&nbsp; This is the result of either historical confusion--possible--or haunted house myth-making--probable. The website can't even keep its own story straight, but still presents this all as "fact" or "history" when it's patently a fiction. To me, this is a strong indication that someone hopped onto a free genealogical website, where date/name confusion is pretty much the order of the day on any family tree, without double-checking through vital records.<br /><br />All this does is create a scenario where a paranormal investigator or—even worse and more dangerous—a paranormal tourist takes a cheap voice recorder into the location to talk to “Sara (Suzie)” or "Sophia" the sweet little girl prankster ghost and accidentally summons an entity to interact with her/him. The lie becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. So if you're part of an investigation team that <i style="font-weight: bold;">does not perform legitimate historical research on a property and instead relies upon an owner's website or a previous paranormal group's findings, your team can be sent blind into a dangerous paranormal event without the proper preparation or protection. </i>That's why research is legitimately the most important segment of an investigation and cannot be skimped.<br /><br />See, anytime you use a voice recorder or call out a spirit, that’s conjuration and an amateur isn’t aware of that. There’s no telling what can and will respond…and follow you home. This is irresponsible on the owner’s part—first, by putting what psychics or an EVP or an odd feeling someone translates into “little girl ghost Suzie” down on the HISTORY page as FACT. Second, by attributing paranormal or supernatural events as being the actions of a specific named entity, the owner is creating a false narrative or mythology for the location. There isn’t really any way to prove the claim on any front.<br /><br />An investigator can, perhaps, after a LOT of investigation, feel fairly confident in a hypothesis about a historical figure being part of a haunting. Usually, that’s in residual hauntings—like Lincoln’s ghost in the White House, for example. A person who witnesses a full-bodied apparition and later is shown a group of pictures of people who lived on the property and recognizes one of the photos as being the ghost he saw can create a reasonable assumption the entity is that historical resident. But either of these types of confirmation is extremely rare.<br /><br />In this case, these definitive identification of entities as the historical residents on the property is just creating a reckless and ultimately reckless mythology for the site, making it more dangerous for investigators, paranormal tourists, and residents alike. (<b><i>Author's note post-investigation: this also generates an interesting factor when the subsequent investigation led the team to a doll as the apex of the haunting. You'll note that the owner of the BSI states in an interview that someone goes into that room every couple of weeks to "talk to the dolls". That's a conjuration, and may be the entire reason the inn has any intelligent haunting at all. Chances are correspondingly greater that this is a dark or demonic entity, lured in under the guise of sweet little Suzie, and may have taken up residence in the doll. Annabelle, anyone?)</i></b><br /><br /><br />Website: Henry and Sam Mahler were known as the Cotton Kings. They lived on the property with 200 acres after Marie died.<br /><br />Henry and Marie's son, Dan, and his wife, Mary Mahler, lived on the property with 237 acres. They sold the house and surrounding land to two sisters and their husbands in 1941.<br /><br />Katherine S. Joline Holbrook (9/17/1883 - 1/27/1950) and Joseph "John" Younger Holbrook (4/6/1879 - 9/3/1960), along with Mary Blanche Joline Woods (7/8/1887 - 1/17/1976) and Claude B. Woods (10/31/1882 - 1/17/1935) purchased the property. The sisters called the house White Gables. They conducted extensive remodeling, adding two wings to enlarge the mansion to accommodate the two families. The house was then called "White Gables". After purchasing more land a second house was built in 1901 but it later burnt down.<br /><br />Fact: Here’s where the ‘history’ contradicts itself directly. Earlier on the page, the website states that: Henry and Marie Mahler bought the property on January 10, 1887. They built the first house on the property in 1887 (Bexar County Appraisal District shows 1902 and San Antonio Conservation Society shows 1901 for the year built).Then the Holbrooks/Woods family purchase the property and evidently adds the two wings to the house, and then a second house was built in 1901 but it ultimately burned down. But this narrative doesn’t match up precisely.<br /><br />At first, the website claims the “Prescott House” was built AFTER the Civil War. But—in 1867, the property was purchased by the Rippsteins, who I’m assuming lived over the dairy barn as would be normal for them as German/Swiss immigrants. So what happened to the Prescott House, that the website claims was built after the Civil War?<br /><br />In 1887, then, the Mahlers bought the location “and built the first house” on the property, a fact that’s disputed by two different agencies in the Appraisal Department and the Conservation Department, which have the dates for this house as 1901 or 1902. Now we have the Holbrook/Woods family adding two wings and building a second house that burns down. What we DON’T have anywhere on this website is an undisputed and definitive date when the house that exists on the property was built.<br /><br />In the book&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Uniforms-Republic-Texas-That-1836-1846/dp/0764306820/ref=asc_df_0764306820/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=312176356508&amp;hvpos=1o1&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=17812581196475491079&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9014935&amp;hvtargid=pla-569502313095&amp;psc=1&amp;tag=&amp;ref=&amp;adgrpid=60258871657&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvadid=312176356508&amp;hvpos=1o1&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=17812581196475491079&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9014935&amp;hvtargid=pla-569502313095" target="_blank">&nbsp;Battles and Men of the Republic of Texas by Arthur Wylie</a>, however, the author states that:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><br />After forming 140 Texian volunteers Caldwell marched for Cibolo Creek, twenty miles from San Antonio. A little later Caldwell moved his camp thirteen miles closer to the city along Salado Creek near the Prescot (sic) House. Altogether, about 220 Texians had been assembled to fight the Mexicans…</blockquote><br />This version of events is backed up by the Texas State Historical Association. So there was a house close to the Black Swan Inn called the Prescott house that pre-dates the battle, and as was pointed out earlier the current building is not in the proper location on the map to have been the Prescott house.<br /><br />So my best guess without actually going in person to the County Clerk’s office and digging out plat books is that the Prescott house was not on the property now associated with the Black Swan Inn, that the first two families lived over the barn in an old-country ‘house barn’, and that the first possible date for the current residence to have been built is the 1901/1902 date that the Appraiser’s Department and the San Antonio Conservation Department have listed on official San Antonio documents.<br /><br />Therefore the house currently known as the Black Swan Inn wasn’t erected until 60 years after the battle, and has nothing to do with the battle save for the fact that the Mexicans rode over it on their way to be shot to pieces by the Texians holed up in the creek bottom.<br /><br />That would also discount any possibility of a Rittspein/Mahler historical figure haunting the current house, because they would never have lived there. This would be an easy mistake to make for any amateur researcher, who wouldn’t be able to untangle the “house barn” mystery and subsequently ended up with multiple “first house” possibilities on the property.<br /><br />Website: Attorney Hall Park Street, Jr. (11/10/1909 - 8/4/1965) and Joline Woods Street (12/15/1912 - 12/22/1959). They inherited the house in 1952 from Joline's mother, Claude Woods. After the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Holbrook and Mr. Woods, Mrs. Woods lived in the house with her son-in-law, Park, and her daughter, Joline. During this time a second story was added to the main house. While Park and Joline owned the property Earle Stanley Gardner visited the house and wrote some of his famed Perry Mason television series scripts here. Joline died of breast cancer in 1959. Park, Jr. was later found dead in 1965 hung by a neck tie with his hands tied behind his back...the death was ruled a suicide. They were survived by their daughter, Joline "Jingles", who was only 19 at the time and their son, Hall Park Street III. (no vital records found). Park Street supposedly committed suicide by hanging himself in the house, though this has been a highly controversial subject. A psychic consultant with Syfy's television program Sightings communicated with former resident, Hall Park Street, whom he believed was murdered in a south wing closet, then moved to another location, where the murderer made the death look like a suicide. They believe Street was killed because of a treasure he still guards in the south wing. Others believe that Heinrich ghost drove Park to commit suicide. The most unnerving spectral presence at the property is that of a man who has been spotted stalking angrily all over the house. Rumor has it that he is the ghost of Hall Park Street. Is he perhaps looking for his beloved wife Joline, whose spirit is also said to haunt the Inn after tragedy struck her at the tender age of thirty-eight when she died of cancer. Dressed in a luxurious white gown with a beaded jeweled medallion in from of headband with a feather at the back over her dark hair, this is a very beautiful female spirit roams the property aimlessly, especially around the gazebo, but Park and Joline never seem to meet.<br /><br />Fact: Okay here’s where things get egregiously wrong. Thanks to the August 7, 1965 edition of the San Antonio Express and News, the fact-checking for this section of the website was easy. <b><i>HALL PARK STREET JR DID NOT KILL HIMSELF AT WHAT IS NOW KNOWN AS THE BLACK SWAN INN OR ANYWHERE ON THE PROPERTY AT ALL.</i></b> Street committed suicide at his home in the affluent Oak Park neighborhood, 401 Northridge Drive, which is 2.9 miles away. He also didn’t bother to mourn his first wife, Joline, all that much because he was already remarried at the time of his death in 1965. So there is <b>no</b> treasure in the south wing that Street was killed over and the murdered/moved. There is <b>no</b> chance that the vengeful ghost of Heinrich Rittspein drove him to suicide when Street was a nine-minute drive away from the property in his new house when he killed himself, and absolutely <b>zero</b> possibility that’s he’s stalking the house because he’s heartbroken over Joline’s death.<br /><br />So no, they aren’t trying to find each other in vain.<br /><br />What this IS representative of, however, is the worst kind of mythology creation that is perpetrated by someone needing to exploit the paranormal for reasons other than research/investigation. As for Street’s son, Hall Park Street III—while the owner claimed to find no vital records for him, I did find him—still living, in Austin, TX after a 30 second Google search. He can be found at https://www.parkstreets.com/ where he has this to say:<br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">A native Texan born in San Antonio, I am the son of a noted lawyer and my godfather was the world's bestselling author of his time, Erle Stanley Gardner, of Perry Mason fame. My father was a member of the Court of Last Resort, a group of lawyers and forensic experts who worked to get prisoners they felt unjustly convicted new trials. Some of my fondest memories of my father was us driving from one state prison to another where he interviewed prisoners. I always got a kick out of seeing my dad in the opening credits of the TV show they made about the Court of Last Resort which showed for two seasons. <b>I grew up in what is now one of the most haunted houses in Texas. It was spooky but not as spooky as it has been made out to be.</b></blockquote><br />Bolding mine, for emphasis. He’s now a renowned photographer based out of Austin after careers in the law and foreign importing, and can be reached via his website. Might be a worthwhile on camera interview depending on how the investigation goes. I assume that Hall Park Street III, therefore, has vital records for anyone who cares to look.<br /><br />The remainder of the “history” section on the website is modern, taking us through the Mehrens’ ownership, who bought the house in 1973. I would assume that either Joline the younger lived in the house between 1965 and 1973—she was 19 and evidently a recent bride in Wisconsin when her father committed suicide--or that the house was rented out after Joline the elder passed away in 1959. The Mehrens sold the house to Werner Schmidt in 1980. The house went into what appears to be some form of seizure, ending up as the property of Sunbelt Self-Storage in 1987 before being ultimately sold to Jo Ann Marks Andrews Rivera in 1991. She named the property the Victoria's Black Swan Inn, and built up a paranormal tourism site/B&amp;B/Events business while living with her family on the site.<br /><br />Other information on the location: Recent reviews of the Black Swan Inn have included growing accounts that the property is not just run down, but falling apart and filthy. There are reports of insect and rodent infestation—highlighted by the Ghost Adventures episode where they left a static cam rolling on the owner’s children all night due to her claim that something was ‘pinching’ them as they slept. Turned out to be a fat, juicy rat instead.<br /><br />There have also been negative reports left on the quality of the food at catered events, at the rudeness of the owner and the staff, and on a few occasions “absolutely ruining” weddings held there. Refusing to turn on the air conditioning for a summer wedding in Central Texas is a recurring theme, as is the owner taking drinks out of people’s hands and pouring them out. Take that FWIW.<br /><br />The Rivera family appears to live on the second floor of the main house, and the house didn’t have a second story until the Street family added it between 1952 and 1965. So any paranormal phenomena up there should be surprising.<br /><br />Conclusion: There’s a long provenance of modern paranormal teams gathering evidence at the Black Swan Inn, but there are no contemporary reports of paranormal events prior to Ms. Rivera’s ownership of the property. The ties to the Battle of Salado are tenuous, the stated history of the house is so unreliable that there’s not even a solid date of when the building was even built. And the suicide or murder/suicide the website wants prospective clients to believe happened in the house actually occurred in a different house almost 3 miles away.<br /><br />The overall purpose of the website is to push the paranormal agenda to the exclusion of anything else in my opinion. The “history” in the history/about section of the website is peppered with references to spirits that are allegedly the former residents of the house despite the house not even being built yet. So this isn’t a history. It’s a mythology, comprised of historical half-truths and what psychics have said about the property despite the constant contradiction or even downright falsehoods (like the Street suicide) in order to make this house appear more haunted than it evidently was when Hall Park Street III grew up.<br /><br />All this being said, though, considering the uses to which the house is put, the weekly ghost tours and ghost hunts, the scrying closet’s constant use and the seances in the room outside it, what you have here is a paranormal time bomb. IF there’s a haunting at this location, I’d find it almost impossible to attribute activity to the former residents on the property. I’m more inclined to think that whatever is contributing to the ‘escalating’ negative activity on the location is the result of the constant conjuration going on there, opening doors without knowing how to shut them again. That would strand human entities there, probably pissing them off. However, that open door leaves the house and ground vulnerable to demonic infestation, which much be strongly suspected headed in.<br /><br /><i>Author's note, post-investigation: It's my opinion now that the investigation is completed that the paragraph above this one was the correct prognosis for the paranormal activity in Victoria's Black Swan Inn. The team, therefore, caught no evidence to support the owner/website claims save with a doll most likely empowered through regular and ritual conjuration.&nbsp;</i><br /><script src="https://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">_uacct = "UA-1679002-1"; urchinTracker(); </script>Celina Summershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08581883122727085849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26892817.post-78637411501592661502019-12-22T08:00:00.000-05:002019-12-22T08:00:06.870-05:00The Aftermath: How Alzheimer's Reinforced My AgnosticismDear God--if there is such a thing--ease my father's confusion tonight. Allow his fears to dwindle. Give him ease; grant him rest. Let him sleep sweetly, buried in the memories that are lost to him in the waking nightmares that torment him every day. Let him learn once more how to revel in the fleeting joys--a walk outside, or the deep-hued hue of a winter's night sky that sets the snow to glittering darkly. Let him dream of himself--not the self that's burdened by so much fear and anger right now but the younger self. The gentler self that fears nothing.&nbsp;<script src="https://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">_uacct = "UA-1679002-1"; urchinTracker(); </script><br /><div><br /></div><div>Yes, please God--ease my father's confusion tonight. Let him be free of fear.</div><div><br /></div><div>Dear God--if You really exist--let my father have moments when he remembers that he is loved...so loved by his wife; his children; his grandchildren; his great-grandchildren. Let the clouds of confusion melt away, so he once more is eased by the thought that his name, his history will not be forgotten. Let him remember--even for the briefest moment--who I am, what my name is, all the laughs and tears and anger and longing that any father feels for his daughter, his oldest child. Let him look on me with that lost clarity, and find it again even if it's only for ten seconds.<br /><br />Yes, God--let my father feel loved tonight. Let him remember me.<br /><br />Dear God--You know why I doubt that a deity exists--let my father prepare for his last great journey in the silent and now echoing in the vaults of memory that were once packed with the thousands of moments he collected in an amazing, full life. Husband and father, brother and grandfather, friend and ally, soldier and businessmen. My father's life reads like a bestselling novel of a man who learned how to live and sacrificed everything for his family's sake. Strengthen the child who grew to manhood in rural Tennessee, unable to attend more than half the school year because he was needed on the farm. Strengthen the young man who dreamed of being an architect, but joined the Army instead. Fortify him, like he swallowed his shyness long enough to approach a beautiful French ballet dancer while stationed in Paris post-Korean War and with her, founded a family.<br /><br />Yes, God--let my father remember the courage he had tonight. Let him regain it, just once.<br /><br />Dear God--why don't You answer me? We both know that I have good reason to doubt Your existence. What You've inflicted on my father is almost the nail in the coffin. Atheism is easier; agnosticism is faster. Either would have left me with no one to be angry with right now. I'd only be able to rage against the vagaries of fate. But my dad had faith. A lot of faith.<br /><br />Did You take that from him too? Or did You leave him on his own, confused by Your silence?<br /><br />Well, I <i>don't</i>&nbsp;have faith in You. Once I did. Once I believed in You and prayed to You and You never had anything to say to me. So now I'm talking to you again. It's hard not to feel like my father's condition is somehow my fault, that because of decisions I have made some omniscient power determined that the best punishment on me for MY behavior was to transfer its divine ire on my father. That's the kind of thinking that makes me look over my shoulder...makes me think that maybe I should place my faith in You again so I can find the answers to my questions.<br /><br />But only for a moment. After that split-second of consideration, I flip right back to rage again. I'm angry at everyone. I'm angry at the doctors who didn't catch this sooner. I'm angry at the people who guessed his condition, and exploited it in business deals. I'm angry at the family, who left my stepmother to cope with him all by herself. I'm angry at my brother, who lives five minutes away but can't be bothered to help my father out.<br /><br />I'm angry at my dad.<br /><br />I'm furious with myself.<br /><br />I'm enraged at You.<br /><br />Yes, You. If You exist, then this is unforgivable. To take my father's mind, his memories, and replace them with confusion and fear is a torture method that make the Spanish Inquisition look commonplace. To reduce the brilliance of my father's intellect and to replace it with a vacuum that cannot be filled...is that how You reward people with faith? Is this disease the culmination of all those years when he tried to live by the precepts of Your church?<br /><br />And You wonder why I turned my back on you for the last time. I turned away from You the first time when my best friend, who had the purest and most intense faith I've ever seen, died in that freak car wreck. That made me an agnostic at eighteen. Then I turned away again and instead watched helplessly as scores of young men were eradicated thanks to AIDS. That hardened my resolve against you. I walked precariously along the tightrope stretched between agnosticism and atheism. I prayed until I couldn't say another word, my throat ravaged with crying as my daughter was so consistently abused and I never got any sort of response from You. The abuse she endured continued, and I fell off that tightrope and rejected all belief that You or any other deity would intervene.<br /><br />Now I'm mad at you again because what's happened to Dad is something I consider unforgivable.<br /><br />For the first time, I'm sending a double-bird to heaven. I'll never forgive You for this. Never. To hell with platitudes or psalms or the power of prayer. Prayer is the spiritual equivalent to yelling in a cave for help. There's no response save for my own voice rebounding to me.<br /><br />No. Wait. That's not right. I did hear one thing. I heard the fear in my father's voice when he asked, "Are you just throwing me away?" when he was admitted to the hospital and visiting time was over. I heard the despair, the longing, the confusion, the terror...<br /><br />What am I supposed to tell him. You tell me: what am I supposed to tell my father, who honored You every day of his eighty-four years when he asks me, "Are you just throwing me away? What's wrong with me?"<br /><br />My father deserved a better end than the one that's been given him.<br /><br />Heh.I just read through this again. Funny in a way. I'm writing a blog post berating God, which is a concept that my analytical mind just could not accept. This is a child's reaction, a child's deferral of guilt from herself to someone or something wholly unrelated.<br /><br />Yes, it sounds like the ranting of a child--which it is. This post is the ranting of an adult child. My father's child. Ostensibly Your child too, if the Bible is to be believed. So if You're out there, and I have no reason to think You are, answer me these questions.<br /><br />Will You be throwing me away too? Like You've done my father?<br /><br />Why?<br /><br />I'll wait. I look forward to once again not hearing You.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Celina Summershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08581883122727085849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26892817.post-6758597952278285152019-12-17T22:30:00.000-05:002019-12-17T22:30:07.617-05:00Paranormal Research Part 2: The Haunted Monroe HouseThis article concludes the two-part paranormal research series of blog posts, continuing the history of the haunted Monroe House.<br /><div><br /></div><div>When researching a&nbsp;<a href="https://livescifi.tv/haunted-locations-database/">haunted location</a>, the purpose isn’t to prove the legends but to establish a connective thread between what the legends and claims say and events that can be substantiated by documents. And in this case, the evidence is building. Beginning with the violent and abusive situation in the Miars’ household, a pattern emerged that included paranormal activity, suspected infidelity, and bizarre accidents and misfortunes to the families that lived there. The Berger family was originally suspected as the source of the haunting, with some claims that John B. Berger was a violent and abusive barkeeper who punished his kids brutally. That doesn’t hold water, with the&nbsp;<a href="https://newspaperarchive.com/us/indiana/hartford-city/hartford-city-telegram/1905/09-20/page-6?tag=john+b+berger+death+funeral+burial+illness+injury&amp;rtserp=tags/?pc=12432&amp;psi=38&amp;pci=7&amp;ndt=bd&amp;pd=1&amp;pm=9&amp;py=1905&amp;pe=1&amp;pem=10&amp;pey=1905&amp;plo=death-funeral-burial-illness-injury&amp;pf=john-b&amp;pl=berger">Hartford City News Telegram eulogizing him</a>&nbsp;as “a man of sterling qualities, honorable to the core. He was big-hearted and genial and it is doubtful if any man in the city had more friends.”<br />And of course, John B. Berger was dead when the public fiasco of the Miars’ marriage became public knowledge.<br /><br />In that period between 1907-1911, when the Miars’ behavior became fodder for the town gossips and their claims of desertion, cruelty, and the violent abuse of their children was hashed out in the courts and the newspaper, a series of strange disasters befell the Berger family&nbsp;<i>at the same time—</i>a shooting as the result of a hate crime; frostbite and a horse’s foot turned into gangrene and an amputation; death in childbirth; a carriage wheel falling off and resulting in a severe injury—these events seem to be interconnected with some strange energy or influence that both fueled and charged a sequence of tragic incidents that are unexplained.<br /><br />The Miars children—Edna was eight, while Ernest was four—match up with the legends about the house, including a famous picture with two child-sized apparitions looking out from a window. The pattern of abuse also matches up with the claims of psychics and many of the EVPs and other communications received at the house, as well as the testimony of local residents who were brought up on stories about the residence. One medium said the energy of the haunting was fueled by an “angry jealous woman out for blood”. This, too, could refer to the Miars because the husband deserted his wife for another woman, and ran away to marry her illegally. That desertion of children was duplicated almost simultaneously by Frederick Nicaise, whose children lost their mother, Mary Berger Nicaise, in 1909 and by 1910 they’d lost their father as well. Perhaps he died, or left to find work and never returned. We don’t know, but the pattern of abandoned families seems to have continued.<br /><br />And the pattern doesn’t stop there.<br /><br />What makes Caroline Berger’s weird carriage accident in 1911 even more interesting is the gruesome death of Sydney Faulkner thirty years later. Faulkner lived in the upstairs apartment in 1940 with his wife, Myrl. He was killed August 18, 1940 when his car inexplicably struck the support beam of a bridge.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newspapers.com/image/251921445/?terms=Sidney+Faulkner&amp;xid=567&amp;returnUrl=%2Fsearch%2Fnewspaper%2Fresults%3FCountry%3DUnited%2520States%26Region%3DIndiana%26Year%3D1940%26NameOrKeyword%3DSidney%2520Faulkner%26NameOrKeywordExact%3DTrue%26YearEnd%3D2017%26RangeDates%3DTrue">The Muncie Star</a>&nbsp;pulled no punches in its report of the accident: “The bridge beam was driven back through the car, piercing Faulkner's body, and both car and bridge were badly damaged. Use of acetylene torches was necessary before the body could be removed from the automobile."<br />Faulkner also had a passenger in the car: a woman not his wife. Mrs. WH Wolfe was with him that morning, and incredibly she wasn't injured.<br /><br />Here again, the pattern emerges: potential infidelity and a strange accident while away from the home under suspicious circumstances.<br /><br />While the Faulkners were living in the upstairs apartment, labeled as 220 ½ Monroe Street in the&nbsp;<a href="http://1940census.archives.gov/search/#searchby=location&amp;searchmode=browse&amp;year=1940">1940 census,</a>&nbsp;the house was owned by Harry B. Meyers, who lived downstairs with his wife, Emma, and their adult son Clayton, who was twenty-three. Meyers was a finishing superintendent at the paper mill which was the major industrial employer mid-century, and Clayton worked with him as a packer. After Sydney Faulkner’s tragic death, Myrl moved out of the upstairs apartment. A family with young children moved in later, and that’s when we start to get our first modern claims of paranormal activity, as evidenced by this August 12, 2016 comment left by an anonymous gentleman on a story about the Monroe House on&nbsp;<a href="http://www.hauntedhovel.com/the-monroe-house-located-in-hartford-cityindiana.html">HauntedHovel.com:</a><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">“I spent about six years of my childhood growing up in that house. I was always scared of the strange noises; they were not common but when it happened it sure got your attention fast. My mother would comfort me about the sounds and voices as a child but she mentioned years later about a woman she thought she had seen upstairs near my bedroom. She had always wondered if she had seen the apparition of the women who had taken her own life decades ago. I for one never liked the old house and was happy when we relocated in the early fifties to Muncie. Always been curious about the afterlife after my youthful experiences, and the house that brought it to my attention. Very good to find this site and pleased to see others chatting about the place. Brings a sense of normal to me who have spent seventy plus years in deep thought over my experiences(sic).”</blockquote>But after 1940, we run into a brick wall researching the history of the Monroe House and the people who lived there. The last federal census made available to public research was 1940, since by law census details cannot be released until seventy years after the census date. Telephone directories become huge, and almost impossible to locate names by street address. The Monroe house became a rental property, although we have apocryphal online claims that previous landlords lived in the house until the late 1990s-early 2000s.<br /><br />There are also claims that tenants in the house during the nineties were Satanists, and that their magic rituals and occult practices intensified the already-haunted property—claims that are lent credence by the objects that have since been purportedly discovered buried on the property: fetishes made of jewelry and human hair, wrapped in cloth; shorts that might have blood on them; and of course the discovery of the bones and skull fragments unearthed in the basement by investigators on a paranormal TV show.<br /><br />It is important to note that there is absolutely no evidence to back up many of the legends’ claims. No one (that we can find) ever died in the house. There wasn’t a fire that killed a small child. In fact, there’s no evidence of the house catching on fire at any point after it was built in 1900. It’s also important, however, to mention that the original house on the property (the one built in the 1850s) may have burned down, and this house was constructed on top of what was left, incorporating wood that was physically sound but scorched.<br /><br />What we did find was a series of bizarre and tragic events that could perhaps explain the origins of the haunting—and the stories that now have circulated in Hartford City for over seventy years.<br />In 2019, the investigations of the house are where the real questions now lie. The Monroe House has been vacant for over ten years, deserted by the living and occupied only by the dead…or the&nbsp;<a href="https://livescifi.tv/2011/07/complete-list-of-demon-names/">demonic</a>, which has seemed to become the consensus around the property over the last five years. It remains to be seen as we continue to research the property what—if any—additional links can be added to the chain of documented events that still impact the house today.<br /><h2></h2><br /></div>Celina Summershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08581883122727085849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26892817.post-11442939586694676122019-12-16T22:36:00.000-05:002019-12-16T23:16:03.236-05:00It Feels Evil Paranormal Fact Checks--The Real History of Yorktown Memorial Hospital <div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW219642490 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; font-family: &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Web&quot;, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><div class="Paragraph SCXW219642490 BCX0" paraeid="{1d722f15-ace9-4c76-a94b-19cd4c8e1e89}{162}" paraid="1628812199" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-indent: 48px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vJG51DuhRu0/XfhOukfTsrI/AAAAAAAACDQ/CsNor0ydLFY86CNWaCxxy8IqabYCZU2ogCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/yorktown.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="375" data-original-width="500" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vJG51DuhRu0/XfhOukfTsrI/AAAAAAAACDQ/CsNor0ydLFY86CNWaCxxy8IqabYCZU2ogCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/yorktown.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span class="TextRun SCXW219642490 BCX0" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times new roman_msfontservice&quot; , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 28.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" xml:lang="EN-US"><i>Author's note--I conducted the research for LiveSciFi's investigation of Yorktown Memorial Hospital for the new Travel Channel show It Feels Evil.

Their salaries are sent to the Motherhouse for the upkeep of the Motherhouse, education of the young Sisters, and medical care for the sick and elderly Sisters. Only after all has been paid, employee salaries and suppliers bills, do the Sisters get paid. Their salary has been in arrears many, many times for as long as found months until such time that enough cash flow was available to pay them. Each year’s audit confirms the fact that without the lowered rate of pay to the Sisters, the hospital could not have survived. The auditors and those in the financial know-how are amazed that the hospital has existed in spite of all the financial obstacles, primarily because of low patient census. The relief, the substitutions, and the 24-hour back up and call by the Sisters are the basic reason for the Yorktown Memorial Hospital's survival to the 80's.”&nbsp;</span></span><span class="EOP SCXW219642490 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233279&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:720,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}" style="font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times new roman_msfontservice&quot; , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 28.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</span></div></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW219642490 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; font-family: &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Web&quot;, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><div class="Paragraph SCXW219642490 BCX0" paraeid="{7546d862-54b2-48c8-97ef-2d6ec2705243}{38}" paraid="2020577893" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-indent: 48px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="TextRun Highlight SCXW219642490 BCX0" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times new roman_msfontservice&quot; , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 28.5px; margin: 0px; outline: transparent solid 1px; padding: 0px;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW219642490 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;">This makes sense, particularly when the hospital finished in the black only 7 years out of its existence.&nbsp;</span></span><span class="TextRun Highlight SCXW219642490 BCX0" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times new roman_msfontservice&quot; , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 28.5px; margin: 0px; outline: transparent solid 1px; padding: 0px;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW219642490 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;">So taking into consideration these factors,</span></span><span class="TextRun Highlight SCXW219642490 BCX0" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times new roman_msfontservice&quot; , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 28.5px; margin: 0px; outline: transparent solid 1px; padding: 0px;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW219642490 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;">&nbsp;the place of Yorktown Memorial Hospital in the community wasn’t that of a normal hospital, and the death statistics that were reported by a previous TV investigation were grossly exaggerated.&nbsp;</span></span><span class="TextRun Highlight SCXW219642490 BCX0" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times new roman_msfontservice&quot; , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 28.5px; margin: 0px; outline: transparent solid 1px; padding: 0px;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW219642490 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;">After all, Yorktown’s population has hovered right at 2,000 for fifty years.</span></span><span class="TextRun Highlight SCXW219642490 BCX0" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times new roman_msfontservice&quot; , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 28.5px; margin: 0px; outline: transparent solid 1px; padding: 0px;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW219642490 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;">&nbsp;</span></span><span class="TextRun Highlight SCXW219642490 BCX0" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times new roman_msfontservice&quot; , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 28.5px; margin: 0px; outline: transparent solid 1px; padding: 0px;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW219642490 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;">I went through forty years of newspaper articles in the DeWitt County newspapers.

To date, Mykelle McDaniel has yet to play a down of college football--first owing to Jones's blackball, then UT's refusal to release his transfer papers, and now the NCAA's ruling that he must sit out ANOTHER year and only have three years of eligibility wherever he decides to play. If you want to see what Mykelle says for himself, you can watch the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAz514cY8Wj2vD-PfIc0b17yYZjk4tsyW" target="_blank">series of interviews I did with him in 2018 on YouTube.</a>&nbsp;Butch Jones is currently serving as an "intern" at the University of Alabama, an arrangement which allows him to collect monthly checks of $160,000 because the $35k Bama pays him doesn't end his buyout agreement with UT.&nbsp;</i><br /><br />That led us to Mykelle McDaniel, who I interviewed a couple of weeks later along with his mother, Chante-Amoure Simmons. Mykelle was another highly touted recruit, a four-star strongside defensive end who had thirty-one offers coming out of high school—including offers from twelve of the fourteen schools in the SEC: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Auburn, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Texas A&amp;M, Kentucky, LSU, Missouri, Ole Miss, and Tennessee. Mykelle and Marlin did not know each other, and Marlin’s full story is only being revealed now, in this book. So there was no way that these two young men somehow coordinated their stories. Marlin is in Knoxville; Mykelle is in Hutchinson, Kansas.<br /><br />I spoke with Ms. Simmons before she and her son committed to an interview with me. The first thing she said struck me hard and made me feel slightly sick. “My son’s father hasn’t been a role model in his life. My second husband never had that bond with Mykelle either. The reason I felt comfortable sending my son to Tennessee was because Coach Jones presented himself as that father figure I always felt my son needed. I thought he was going to go to Tennessee and have that mentorship I’d always wanted for him. But I was a single mother going through his recruitment period with him, and I had no idea what to look for.”<br /><br />I don’t think I’ll ever get over hearing the tragedy in her voice. Her voice was lovely anyway, soft and low-pitched, and she spoke with such sincerity and eloquence that as soon as she finished that comment, I started to get angry because I thought I knew what was coming. I just hated it for her and for her son, who I’d not yet spoken to. The bond between them was so touching. I mean—think about it. Before she would allow me to interview her son, she had wanted to talk with me first.<br />I don’t blame her for that. I admire her for it. She’d learned her lesson about trusting strangers with Mykelle.<br /><br />As I said, I thought I knew what was coming. In actuality, I had no clue how bad that story was going to be. The next day, I interviewed Mykelle with his mother sitting in on the call.<br /><br />During the pre-training camp physicals, the UT team doctors detected popping in one of Mykelle’s knees. They soon diagnosed a torn meniscus—an injury I can empathize with because I’ve had the same injury myself—and recommended that he have surgery to correct the issue. Because he’d finished a math class late—and not because he failed it. He had a score of 26 on his ACT—Mykelle already had an academic redshirt for the 2016 season, his freshman year. So his path seemed clear. He would have the problem surgically corrected, which was a fairly minor procedure, and would redshirt that season.<br /><br />But the coaches didn’t agree. They were appealing the academic redshirt and thought there was a chance he could play that season. So Jones and his staff were pushing Mykelle to go ahead and play the season—with his injured knee. Of course, Mykelle, at eighteen, was anxious to start playing too. But a torn meniscus isn’t an injury to be ignored. The torn meniscus in my knee had led to a total knee replacement. I couldn’t imagine any responsible coach or trainer trying to get a young man to play with a torn meniscus and particularly not in the SEC.<br /><br />“We had like a team advisor. You know, you go to him and just talk to him, you know what I’m saying? Just talk to him. The guy’s not supposed to tell anybody what you talk about at all. I did find out later on, the more I talked to him, the more I told him, the more he was going back to coach and telling him everything,” Mykelle explained. “So I got to talking to him and I was just going back and forth, getting his opinion and expressing my opinion as far as how I feel about playing on my knee right now and thinking about whether I wanna fix it or whether I want to go ahead and have the surgery. And the first day I actually tell him about it, later on that day in a team meeting, Coach Jones was…he didn’t say my name, didn’t mention any name at all, but he started saying that: ‘If you’re thinking about having surgery instead of playing, don’t be a bitch. Man up and help your team out.’ Didn’t say any names but I’m not stupid. I clearly know who he was just talking about.”<br /><br />“So, after you decided to go ahead and have the surgery and that was with Knoxville Orthopedic Clinic, correct?” I asked.<br /><br />“Correct.”<br /><br />“Okay, were the trainers, the assistant coaches, or Coach Jones pushing you to not have the surgery and to go ahead and play even though they knew the doctors had recommended it?”<br /><br />“Everyone except the doctor himself,” he replied. “When I approached everyone else about it, they said, ‘Don’t have it. There’s a chance you could burn your redshirt. We need you…’<br /><br />And so on and so on. When I went to the doctor about it there was one thing consistently on my mind. It’s my career. I need to be smart about it. So I go see the doctor and I explain to him that the coaches have not been allowing me to have my surgery for a couple of weeks now and he says, ‘They can’t do that. I had no idea they were doing that. It’s illegal for them to do that. No one can pick and choose when you have your surgery but you.’ When he told me that, and once they (the coaches) were aware that he told me that, that is when they permitted me to have my surgery.”<br /><br />Now there were all sorts of alarm bells going off in my head. Marlin Lane had also stated that the physicians at KOC were outstanding and provided great medical care, but that he had to go to them outside of the normal injury protocols with the trainers. Now, we have an eighteen-year-old freshman being told by a KOC physician that the coaching staff was making medical decisions on his behalf although that was illegal. That goes well beyond Jones and his staff micromanaging the program. If not outright abuse, that’s downright negligence.<br /><br />Butch Jones was trading the health and future prospects of his players for wins on Saturdays in the fall and no one at UT had stepped forward as an advocate for those young men.<br /><br />Mykelle’s mother put her foot down. Her son’s surgery was scheduled and successful, thanks to the Knoxville Orthopedic Clinic physicians. Three weeks later, Mykelle was back on the practice field, training with the team. Because he wasn’t active on the roster, he was working with the scout team. Six weeks into a fourteen week season, it would have been ridiculous to<br />burn his redshirt. Clearly, the smart thing to do was to let him sit out the remainder of his redshirt year, and then join the active roster the following season.<br /><br />On his first day back at practice, Mykelle was wearing a green no-contact jersey that the trainers had told him to wear.<br /><br />“I was back on the field. I came back. In my mind, I’m one hundred percent. I still have a green jersey on but I’m still working. I’m still practicing on the scout team. I walk onto the practice field and I’m like, ‘How you doing, Coach?’<br /><br />“And Coach Jones says, ‘I’m doing good but I’d be better if you wasn’t in that green jersey.’<br /><br />“I said, ‘It’s not me, it’s the trainers that got me in it.’<br /><br />“And he said, ‘Yeah, you being a little bitch.’ His exact words.”<br /><br />I have to admit that at that moment, I kind of lost my temper. What made it tough was that I was on a three-way call with Mykelle and his mother. The last thing I wanted to do was to follow my initial instincts, which would have involved cussing. So I took a moment and then asked, “Okay, so he called you a little bitch because you were wearing the no contact jersey when you first got back out on the field after your surgery, correct?”<br /><br />“Yes ma’am.”<br /><br />“So what did you do?”<br /><br />“I chuckled and said, ‘Yes sir. I hope it gets better.’ and I continued on with my stretches. And he walked past.”<br /><br />Always just a little embarrassing to realize a teenager is more mature than I am at fifty-two. But that’s the kind of young man Mykelle is. Like his mother, he’s articulate and extremely courteous. In this day and age, it’s positively refreshing to hear an eighteen year-old just being<br />polite. Those “yes ma’ams” told me more about his character than any amount of background research could have. These were good people, who could never have anticipated what was going to happen next.<br /><br />“It’s South Carolina week,” Mykelle went on. “The next incident was South Carolina weekend and we come out for practice Monday and I’m pass rushing this particular day, against this person…a new starter on the o-line. He tore his meniscus before I tore mine. He had surgery before me but his body didn’t heal as fast as mine. He took his good time coming back, so he was literally just now coming back off his meniscus injury and they put him in the starting lineup and line us up to go to work. And I’m going against him and he’s shooting his hand…he’s heading for my face mask. He’s shooting his hands and he’s aiming for my throat, slapping me in my face and whatnot. I turn and Butch Jones is literally just standing right there.<br /><br />“We had officials at every practice and they would throw flags and, you know, break up every fight before they happen. Literally. Every practice there would be twenty officials out every single practice. There’d be twenty officials. And he’s slapping my face mask and he’s doing it for so long and it gets to the point where I turn to Butch Jones and I say, ‘Are you just going to sit there and watch him do this?’<br /><br />“He doesn’t respond to me, he just head nods. I don’t know what that means but I said, ‘Are you just going to sit here and watch him keep playing me dirty like that?’ He just nods his head. So I go back, and I come off the ball, and at this point, I do a post move. That’s a move that you don’t do at practice. You’re not supposed to do it against a teammate. At that point he grabs me and he throws me on the ground. Once he throws me on the ground, everyone else hops on top of me. I mean the offensive line was on the bench. They wasn’t even in the game or in the play. The line’s just jumping and stomping and beating me and nothing is happening. Officials<br />just standing there, not running onto the field. Coaches standing there, not doing anything. I was cool with all the running backs, the only people jumping me were the offensive line. Running backs just standing there watching. Wide receivers just standing there watching. Everybody just stood there watching.<br /><br />“I talked to a couple of people afterwards, one of the running backs that I was cool with, his name was Jeremy Lewis, he tried to hop in, but his coach cussed him out and said, ‘Don’t you hop in. That’s your o-line. You leave them alone.’ I talked to Jauan Jennings. He told me he was running a fly route. He was way down the field, he didn’t even know what happened until he got all the way back. Everyone was asking, ‘Where were you when it happened?’ Everybody had different reasons but they all were saying it was just the offensive line when they did what they did.<br /><br />“I went back and looked at it. I saw it on camera that same night, you can pull it (practice film) up on camera. I watched the offensive line just run in and jump in, I watched Jauan running the fly route, I watched the coaches just standing there, I watched the coach cuss the running back who tried to hop in to help me, I watched Butch Jones stand there, I watched the officials just stand there. The next day when I go back, everybody is in the locker room looking at it on their iPads. Everyone on the team gets it. Once Coach Jones comes in and sees everyone’s on their iPads in the locker room watching it, they take the film off of the site. They take that play off of the team thing (practice video site), they took that whole play off. It’s no longer there. I don’t know what they did to it but it was no longer there.”<br /><br />When writers are conducting an interview and things like this come out, it feels almost like a double gut punch. The first response is a human reaction, visceral and raw, to what you’ve just heard. The second is like getting slapped across the face or punched in the jaw with<br />adrenaline. That feeling is like leveling up right before a boss fight in a video game. You don’t know exactly what’s coming, but you think to yourself that now might be a good time to head to the closest save point. You recognize the feeling that you’re getting close to something really big.<br /><br />“So how many…when you say jumped, are you saying they physically pummeled you? They hit you?”<br /><br />“Stomped, punch, beat. I was beat. By the entire offensive line. If you need me to go into names, as far as the offensive line, I could name the entire offensive line on the 2016 player roster.”<br /><br />“Now were they instructed to do so by the coaching staff?”<br /><br />“If you ask me? I know nothing as far as they did it. I do not know nothing for a fact. If you ask me, I’m no fool. I’ve seen other fights happen all through the season. I’ve seen other scuffles happen, the referees break it up, I mean within a second, like instantly. The officials are over there and then it’s over with. This particular fight, they all just sat there and watched.”<br /><br />Mykelle’s mother was still on the line so I asked, “Ms. Simmons? You saw that entire fight on film, right?”<br /><br />She’d told me that during our conversation earlier.<br /><br />“Yes. I saw the fight but when I tried to go back the next day after my mom was saying you need to find some way to download it, the next day when I tried to go back it was gone.”<br /><br />“How long would you estimate that scuffle went on before it ended?”<br /><br />“I would say about at least ten minutes?”<br /><br />Although nothing should have shocked me at that point, I found myself gobsmacked yet again. “That long? Ten minutes?”<br /><br />“Oh yeah.”<br /><br />Now, I cannot imagine she was running a stopwatch while she’s watching that film of her son being assaulted by a group of football players. I also am aware that during a traumatic situation, witness descriptions are usually inaccurate—over- or underestimated because of the stress those witnesses are coping with. That’s enough to make two minutes feel like five, or five like ten for most people.<br /><br />Regardless, her testimony makes it clear that the incident went on much longer than an unplanned scuffle between football players in the heat of the moment would have. Keeping in mind that coaches and officials were standing by and watching—allowing—this to happen indicates to me that this assault continued for some minutes before it finally ended, and that is disturbing.<br /><br />“All right. So what kind of physical shape were you in after that Mykelle?”<br /><br />“My adrenaline was running so I don’t feel anything at the time. I get up and I grab my helmet. Coach Jones tried to go to the next play and none of the scout team players ran in to replace me. So he’s like, ‘Who’s supposed to be here right now?’ And then I’m putting my helmet back on and running back onto the field, and he grabbed me and was like, ‘No, you go to the sidelines.’ That’s when he started cussing out the scout team players. ‘Why the f*** are are you out of the game? Get out there, you’re not doing nothing, or I’m gonna take your scholarship!’<br /><br />“So he went out there and that’s when I calmed down and realized that every time I moved my shoulder, my collarbone was popping out. Literally. I showed the doctors, they took me into the training room with the doctor to take a look at it and he said I needed to go to the emergency room immediately. And they put me in an ambulance and I went to the emergency room. He said the way my collarbone was moving, it was too close to my throat. They didn’t want my bone to cut anything, you understand what I’m saying? So, they took me to the emergency room immediately. They took me there, they X-ray’d it, put me inside the CAT scan, they said—they basically came up with the conclusion I got a contusion in my collarbone and they can’t fix it, because if they go in and fix it, nine times out of ten they would do nothing but make it worse. Just gotta pray it falls back into place.”<br /><br />“Okay, at this point Ms. Simmons, you have documentation from the hospital that he went to. Was that UT medical center or somewhere else?”<br /><br />“I’m not sure about what hospital it was because they never gave me documentation so everybody was telling me that Butch Jones had it, and I scheduled meetings with him. First of all, he wouldn’t take a phone call with me. I scheduled two meetings with him after that, both of which he cancelled. I was able to… Coach Strip (Steve Stripling) connected me to the doctor, and I don’t remember the doctor’s name. I have emails, I’m gonna go back through my emails and see what I can find.”<br />“So after that event, and I saw the text message exchange you had with Butch Jones on your Twitter feed. Did you ever discuss the incident more with him?”<br /><br />Just as a note—that text exchange was just about what you’d expect from an angry eighteen-year old football player who just found out his coach was glad he got injured as the result of a fight. The language was probably cleaner than what I would have used if that had been my son on the field.<br /><br />But not by much.<br /><br />“Oh yeah, he called me after that and when he called me his exact words were, ‘I understand you’re frustrated, I understand you’re upset, but there’s a certain way you can’t talk to the University of Tennessee head coach.’”<br /><br />“Oh wow, that’s just arrogant. My God.”<br /><br />“Yeah, he said, ‘I apologize for what happened. I didn’t mean for that to happen. You won’t need to focus on getting any revenge from anybody, I’m gonna get the revenge for you. I’m gonna talk to them, I’m gonna get on to their coach. I’m gonna make sure they’re in trouble for this, they will pay for this.'<br /><br />“So, I got off the phone and thought, ‘I’ll sleep better tonight.’ And nothing happened to the offensive line. Nothing at all. Yeah.”<br /><br />“Some of my teammates—Taeler Dowdy, and Jauan Jennings, and John Kelly—they told me at the end of practice that Coach told the whole team that he was glad that what happened, happened. You got to understand that at the time, the whole starting defense…I’m the only scout team player on scholarship so everybody who’s on the field knows that I’m honestly there because I want to be on the field with them. So they respect me, I’m chill with them; they understand that’s who I’m with. So the whole defense has no idea that this happened to me so when, Butch Jones said, ‘I’m happy that happened because when we play South Carolina this weekend it’s going to be a street fight and that’s just showed me that y’all are ready for a street fight.’<br /><br />“That’s why I texted him and I said, ‘Did you say you were happy it happened?’ That’s when the text messages started because right when I found out I texted him and I asked, ‘Did you say you were happy it happened?’<br /><br />“He was trying to say that I was twisting his words. ‘I was happy that you got out there.’<br /><br />“I don’t understand how you can even switch that. You were happy that I got out there? Or you happy that it happened? I don’t know how…I don’t really understand what he’s talking about on that.”<br /><br />“Yeah, that’s not something any normal person would say.”<br /><br />“Yeah, not at all. So, while I’m in the emergency room—I’m in the hospital when the defense found out. That’s when Derek Barnett, Corey Vereen, Kahlil McKenzie, Jonathon Kongbo—all of them, the whole defensive line—that’s when they went to the offensive line in the locker room and basically there was a fight in the locker room about what happened. A little scuffle, not really a fight because the offensive line wouldn’t fight back. They were like, ‘We don’t wanna fight, we don’t wanna fight, we didn’t mean for it to happen.’”<br /><br />As soon as I heard that, my mind instantly flashed back to the 2017 season when ShyTuttle had his orbital bone broken and Butch Jones had claimed in a press conference that he’d fallen on a helmet. Obviously, fights on and off the practice field were a pretty standard event though—something these players were accustomed to under this coaching staff. Here again—I’ve been around football for a long time. I know how frequently tempers flare up on the field, both during practice and during games. But something like this?<br /><br />How often was this type of thing going on? And how out of line was that with other teams?<br /><br />Preferred walk-on Taeler Dowdy was one of the players that Mykelle had mentioned in regard to the incident. I spoke with him a week later.<br /><br />“Okay, so you witnessed the fight that ended up breaking Mykelle’s collarbone, right?”<br /><br />“Yes, I was actually in the locker room with him after it.”<br /><br />“Okay, why don’t you tell me about what went down as far as you could tell with that whole thing?”<br /><br />“I won’t say I saw the whole thing but I definitely heard from everybody, because everybody was talking about it. I think it was a play, and it’s funny because the coaches, like, I was a practice player at the time and, Mykelle, he was a scout player too. And they (the coaches) would like for real yell at us if we would beat the first stringers, like if we, I guess, went too hard and we actually beat them they would get mad. And Mykelle, he would just always beat the o-linemen and I guess they just all get mad and they jumped him. When he came into the locker room, it was just him when he came into the locker room, and I had to help him take his shoulder pads off and stuff. And then like five minutes of him being in pain, the trainers finally came. I don’t know, I just felt like they definitely dealt with that wrong. And then after that practice, Coach Jones says, ‘Good job to the offensive linemen for like sticking together and having each other’s backs’ or something.”<br /><br />“What were other players saying in the locker room about what happened? After it happened?”<br /><br />“Well, a lot of the defensive players were mad and, I mean, the linemen, them and Mykelle kinda like—they just didn’t like Mykelle because he would do good. He would do good against them at practice so they were gloating about that. I don’t feel like they felt bad that they did what they did.”<br /><br />“Did anybody on the coaching staff, strength coach, GAs, other players, did anybody step forward and say what they did was wrong?”<br /><br />“Not that I heard of honestly because that wasn’t the only fight. I mean, there were fights after that and I believe that because of that situation went so wrong there was more after that…because of that. There wasn’t a punishment for that or something.”<br /><br />So, let’s take a minute to assimilate what’s been said. Another player has just corroborated Mykelle’s story. Keep in mind, too, that Mykelle’s account dovetails with what Marlin Lane had said earlier—not only about injuries and how the coaches demanded their players continue to play, but also about how Butch Jones used players against their teammates, setting some guys up as almost a gang in order to enforce his rules and expectations upon the others.<br /><br />“While you’re playing, if you don’t perform to the way he wants you to perform, or basically carry a jug of water or do this and do all that, he was basically saying, ‘You’re not performing up to your abilities so I’m going to give you a year probation on your scholarship. If you don’t perform or do what you came here to do that’s…you’re done.’” Marlin (Lane)had said two weeks earlier. “And what kind of had me up in the air with the last interview I did, which I did not with you guys, but with some… I can’t even remember, who… I think it was SB Nation, I’m not sure but they quoted something that I said in the wrong—”<br /><br />“Yeah, I remember that.”<br /><br />“It almost kind of messed my career up with jobs or…and everything else. But by me, you know, just knowing certain people that they gave me a chance at my job now. By them ( SB Nation article) saying he had me threaten kids’ lives, which I never did. I never said that. What I said was he would use me, because of my background, where I come from, my environment. On player staff meeting one day which is—we sit at a table like this of probably fourteen players that pretty much can have a voice to other players—and we were sitting in his office conference room and he literally told me, ‘I’m going to tell you why I got you on player staff because you got street in you and so you could go up to certain players and say this to certain players and they won’t react to you because of...’<br /><br />Basically he was saying where I was from, you know, and I kinda laughed it off but at the same time I’m like…where is that going? Even Justin Worley, like they all... ‘Why would he say that?’”<br /><br />“When I hear you talk or watch the way you are, I don’t instantly think street, am I wrong here? I mean you’re a very well-spoken young man, how could anybody get street off that?” I said.<br /><br />“That’s what…‘The reason why I’m in here is because you want me to go to certain players and tell them that if they don’t act right, you’re gonna kick them off the team.’”<br /><br />So now, all the pieces are starting to fall together. I’m getting a clear picture of what had happened to those earlier teams, those earlier players. I understand better what the environment must been like, and why those squads that looked so good on paper didn’t live up to their potential. I can see why so many injuries decimated the Volunteers, and why so many players transferred. I have three players on the record now: Marlin Lane, who was gone before Mykelle McDaniel and Taeler Dowdy arrived. I have a parent on the record.<br /><br />As I write this now, I have a strong hunch that these stories are just the tip of the iceberg. Too many other players have been named by these three. And I know that for me, this story is just beginning. There are months of research ahead of me as I track down other players, staff members and former coaches, trainers and physicians and university officials.<br /><br />And obviously, the person I want to talk to the most is Butch Jones. I would be shocked if he wasn’t restricted by a tight non-disclosure agreement after his termination from the University of Tennessee. I’d assume almost every high-profile coach in the country is. That being said, he should be given the opportunity to discuss these claims on the record and I’d be more than happy to provide him that platform.<br /><br />But I think it’s essential to understand the following as the foundation of what we’ve been discussing: a football coach is in a position of near-absolute authority over the players on his team. A coach must administer that authority in such a way as to not needlessly endanger a player’s safety, or to negatively impact their prospects. Jones was responsible for his players’ welfare on multiple levels, whether they were superstars or on the scout team. Regardless of how you look at these stories—and this is just a fraction of what I was told by these interview subjects—at the end of the day, any coach that jeopardizes the players on his team must be held accountable for his actions.<br /><br />That’s why the Maryland decision to retain head coach DJ Durkin after the investigation into the death of player Jordan McNair due to heat stroke caused such a backlash among students, media, and fans. The investigators had censured the coaching practices that led to these same kinds of repercussions on the Maryland football team, citing a culture where players were afraid to speak out, a athletic department that was deeply dysfunctional, a strength and conditioning program the university failed to supervise, and an overall lack of oversight warding the players’ health, safety, and well-being.<br /><br />Being suspended for a few games isn’t true accountability. That’s a slap on the wrist. The University of Maryland had no option but to terminate Durkin the day after they had reinstated him as head football coach.<br /><br />And let’s be honest—the similarities between Maryland under Durkin and Tennessee under Jones are striking. Considering the type of injury Mykelle McDaniel received, the two programs were closer than anyone, including me, would ever have guessed.<br /><br />After I wrote this chapter, I sat back and thought for a few minutes about what I’d learned. When I first heard Marlin and Mykelle and Taeler tell their stories, I was kicking myself for not knowing what was happening to them even though I live hundreds of miles away. Like I should have possessed some sort of insight superpower. Then, I felt disturbed that Vol Nation revolted against UT because we were mad that the university was ignoring what we, the fans, demanded and expected from them when it came to hiring a football coach.<br /><br />Coaches. The highest-paid, most-visible state employees with their multi-million dollar contracts subsidized by taxpayer dollars. And as I thought the above sentence, something clicked in my head.<br />The fan ReVOLution wasn’t just about winning football games after all. Without the uprising, none of these stories—or the ones we’ll pursue after this book is finished—might ever have come to light.<br />That’s how important it is for fans to hold their universities accountable for their decisions. Not just to win games, although that’s a big part of it. We must require them to discharge their responsibilities toward all students. If colleges don’t adequately safeguard their students, then it’s everyone’s absolute duty to hold them accountable for it, whether in Baltimore or Waco, East Lansing or Knoxville.<br /><br />We really are the caretakers now.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><script src="https://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">_uacct = "UA-1679002-1"; urchinTracker(); </script>Celina Summershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08581883122727085849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26892817.post-28827476473529480812019-10-13T23:44:00.001-04:002019-11-25T22:35:39.536-05:00Paranormal Research Part 1: The Haunted Monroe House<br /><div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">The fact of the matter is that there’s a long string of peculiar accidents, hate crimes, tragedies, infidelity and violent domestic abuse associated with the house as far back as the early 1900s. Those events set the stage for the haunting today. And while we don’t have all the facts of the Monroe House and there are sizable gaps in our knowledge of who owned and lived in the residence, a pattern starts to emerge early that is worth evaluating.</div><br /><br /><a href="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/30-84QayBYY/maxresdefault.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/30-84QayBYY/maxresdefault.jpg" width="400" /></a>The legends around the large, white-sided Victorian house and its extreme haunting are well-known in Blackford County, Indiana. The Monroe House, as the residence at 218 North Monroe Street in Hartford City is called, has been a&nbsp;<a href="http://strangeandcreepy.com/demon-house-monroe-indiana/">mystery for decades</a>. Neighbors have reported everything from fires to black smoky figures in the windows to loud arguments and lights coming on in the vacant home for years, but when the police show up no one is there and nothing is wrong. The ghost stories go back at least to the 1930s. When you combine the stories and legends with the historical records, a fascinating—and terrifying—timeline emerges, one that might explain the continued hauntings and escalated activity in the residence.<br /><br />Psychics have claimed for years that the house is haunted as the result of horrific child abuse—a father who abused his small son and daughter so severely the event has been imprinted on the property, a literal trauma to the very foundations of the house. Investigations have uncovered Class A EVPs of small children screaming, disembodied voices interacting with investigators even through baby monitors, shadow people, the apparitions of two small children, a small blackened apparition in the upstairs windows, unexplained fires, physical attacks, and sever poltergeist activity.<br /><br />But all of these are claims—allegations. What we have to do is to try to tie the current paranormal claims to the actual history of the house. That way, we can corroborate the evidence with documented fact. That's why paranormal researchers, who may not be the obsessive compulsive provokers that you find on most YouTube channel, are probably the most important members of their paranormal investigation groups. With a well-known haunt like the Monroe House, a lot of teams are content to accept the legend...the cover story of a location as absolute fact. They investigate a location and immediately defer to the legend to validate any evidence they may find.<br /><br />But that's not investigation. That's intellectual laziness, and if you're part of a group who just accepts what the owner of a site has up on his website, then you're invalidating every single bit of evidence you may capture. You have to research the location honestly, and find the real history for yourself. The Monroe House is a location I investigated extensively, and the story I uncovered has little to no bearing on what the claimed history of the site is.<br /><br /><br />The house is now a triplex, divided during the tenure of the Berger family, who lived in the home from around 1900 to 1930. The Bergers were Belgian immigrants who began their life in Indiana by working in the Hartford City Glass Company as glass workers. John B. and Mary Berger had five children together, who all worked in the glass company from childhood on. John became an agent for Indianapolis Brewing and a major steamship line. He bought a tavern, invested his money in real estate, joined organizations like the Elks, the Rotary, and the Oddfellows, and became a leading citizen of the town.<br /><br />In the late 1900s, two families lived in the Monroe Street house. The Bergers occupied the downstairs, but after the death of John in 1905 rented out the upstairs. Through searching newspaper archives, we discovered an article that may directly tie into the claims of the Monroe Street Haunting—and the family that lived upstairs.<br /><br />On&nbsp;<a href="https://newspaperarchive.com/us/indiana/hartford-city/hartford-city-telegram/1907/03-20/page-2?tag=220+north+monroe+street&amp;rtserp=tags/220-north-monroe-street?page=1&amp;pc=12432&amp;psi=38&amp;pci=7&amp;pt=21613">March 20, 1907, the Hartford City Telegram reported the following:</a><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><em>"Ulysses G. Miars, the well known bookkeeper and former paymaster at the Johnston factory, was Friday made the defendant in a divorce suit filed in the circuit court by. Mary Miars, who besides a divorce asks the custody of their three children, $500 alimony and $25 monthly for the support of the children. Mr, and Mrs. Miars were married in September, 1886, and lived together until March 1, 1907, when the plaintiff avers that she was cast upon the street to depend on the charity of strangers. Her allegations in part are:&nbsp;<b>That the defendant has been guilty of cruel and inhuman treatment; that he possesses a violent and uncontrollable temper and at various times became enraged without cause, and on March 11 drove her from their home giving her no clothing other than, that she was wearing; that she was obliged to seek shelter at the home of a neighbor as it was late in the evening and she had no relatives that she could call upon for assistance;</b>&nbsp;that plaintiff is weak, frail and in poor health and unable to perform hard labor although she was compelled to do so and then was not provided with suitable clothing. The family is comprised of three children—Earl, age 20; Edna, age 8, and Ernest, age 4. It is further alleged that the defendant is capable of earning $125 monthly and fully able to maintain the children by paying $25 monthly for their support. The parties named in the complaint have resided on north Monroe street and their troubles of the present week have afforded a great opportunity for the town gossips.”</em></blockquote><em><br /></em>To report not only a divorce proceeding but allegations of domestic violence and child abuse is extremely rare in newspapers at the time, especially in a small Midwestern town. Ulysses Miars was a well-known businessman whose life fell apart in a matter of weeks. First the public claim of abuse, then the loss of his position, then reconciliation with his wife—only to desert her a few months later for (allegedly) another woman. On December 4, 1907, the following article appeared:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">“UG Miars has filed a suit for divorce from his wife, Mrs. Mary Miars, alleging that she had a&nbsp;<b>cruel disposition and frequently chastised their children with a buggy whip.”</b></blockquote>By June of 1908, Ulysses Miars wasn’t paying support for his wife and children. He was newly married—already—to a woman who got a divorce at about the same time from her husband. The only reason he was able to pay the settlement of the divorce was because his mother sold her farm. But after that? He didn’t pay his former family a dime. Ulysses Miars and his new wife (they actually married illegally, as in<i>&nbsp;her&nbsp;</i>divorce she was forbidden from marrying for two years) ended up moving to Ohio, where in 1949, he died—in Toledo. The only child listed as a survivor from his first marriage was Edgar, the eldest son.<br /><br />What’s extremely strange about this is that Mary Miars and all three children are in the 1910 census, now living on Jefferson Street. But none of them—not Mary, not Edna, not Ernest, not Edgar—can be found on any 1920 census.<br /><br />So where did they go? The child abuse and domestic violence cited in the courts was extreme and severe. Did the Miars children die young? We know there were rumors about the family&nbsp;<i>before</i>&nbsp;the horrific divorce, because in 1903 there was gossip around their then four-year old daughter, Edna. No one had seen the child for a while, and word spread through the neighborhood that she had diphtheria. At the time, that would have required the entire household—this is before the Monroe Street house—to be quarantined. So the Miars inserted a strange notice in the paper that their daughter "has never been bedfast on account of sickness and is now able to be around the house most of the time."<br />Which if you think about it, is weird. She’s not sick, but she’s able to be around the house “most of the time”?<br /><br />The Berger family, on the other hand, was socially prominent and well-respected. Their children lived at home as young adults and didn’t cause any trouble. The Berger daughters had large weddings, reported in the Telegram, and the sons went into business and did very well. But in&nbsp;<a href="https://newspaperarchive.com/us/indiana/hartford-city/hartford-city-telegram/1905/09-20/page-6?tag=john+b+berger+death+funeral+burial+illness+injury&amp;rtserp=tags/?pc=12432&amp;psi=38&amp;pci=7&amp;ndt=bd&amp;pd=1&amp;pm=9&amp;py=1905&amp;pe=1&amp;pem=10&amp;pey=1905&amp;plo=death-funeral-burial-illness-injury&amp;pf=john-b&amp;pl=berger">1905, John B. Berger was diagnosed with tuberculosis</a>. &nbsp;went to Silver City, New Mexico for treatment at the Sisters’ Hospital there. But upon arrival, his case was declared hopeless and he was dead eight days later. After his funeral, the Bergers rented the upstairs apartment—to the Miars. Although the two families shared the house for a very short period of time, the Bergers began to be plagued by a series of baffling and bizarre occurrences that traumatized the entire family.<br /><br />To start off with, the Bergers’ barn caught on fire. Sparks from the blaze subsequently set the&nbsp;homes of two neighbors, Emil Loriaux and Joe Aucreman, on fire as well. Then, John Berger’s older brother, Marshall, was stranded outside and his feet were severely frostbitten in 1905. Then a horse stepped on his foot and gangrene set in. Marshall’s leg was amputated above the knee. He recovered, only to die of pneumonia two years after his brother, in 1907.<br /><br />Later in 1905, John’s son&nbsp;<a href="https://newspaperarchive.com/us/indiana/hartford-city/hartford-city-telegram/1905/05-17?tag=george+berger&amp;rtserp=tags/?pc=12432&amp;psi=38&amp;pci=7&amp;ndt=bd&amp;pd=1&amp;pm=1&amp;py=1905&amp;pe=30&amp;pem=12&amp;pey=1910&amp;pf=george&amp;pl=berger">George was the victim of a hate crime, and was shot by anti-Belgian assailants</a>&nbsp;as he walked with friends after a dance. Witnesses reported that the two different groups of men hadn’t interacted at all as they passed each other on the street. George and his friends didn’t apparently know any of their attackers and according to witnesses didn’t say a word to the other group.<br /><br />So when suddenly the group, led by three men from Kentucky, yelled, “You goddamned frogs won’t be running this town no more!” it was unexpected. The men unleashed a spray of bullets at George and his friends. George was shot in the chest, right above the heart, and was carried home to his mother’s house. Doctors expected him to die and the newspaper reported that he was for a time “pulseless”. But somehow, he rallied and survived the attack.<br /><br />Interestingly, the three attackers went to a bar after shooting George Berger, where they told the bartender they had “fixed a group of frogs”, and then disappeared from the town entirely. The bar was owned by Frederick Nicaise—who had a tie to the Berger family as well.<br /><br />The Bergers’ daughter, Mary, had married Belgian immigrant Frederick Nicaise, in 1894. After five children in fairly short order, she died after complications of diabetes and childbirth, along with her newborn son, in 1909. But by the 1910 census, the five children were living with their grandmother in the Monroe Street house. The children grew to adulthood in their grandmother’s home and there is no further mention of their father, alive or dead.<br /><br />In 1911, the Bergers’ daughter-in-law Caroline, wife of their other son, Elmer, was in a&nbsp;<a href="https://newspaperarchive.com/us/indiana/hartford-city/hartford-city-telegram/1911/05-31?tag=elmer+j+berger+mishap+carriage+injured&amp;rtserp=tags/?pc=12432&amp;psi=38&amp;pci=7&amp;ndt=by&amp;py=1900&amp;pey=1930&amp;plo=mishap-carriage-injured&amp;pf=elmer-j&amp;pl=berger">inexplicable carriage accident</a>. On a trip back from the Oddfellows Cemetery when John Berger is buried, she and a friend accepted a ride fro a gentleman passing by in a carriage. On the way home, the back wheel just fell off the carriage for no discernible reason, throwing her into the street where she was badly injured. This is the first bizarre incident involving transportation.<br /><br />We’ll get to the other one, which happens thirty years later, in part 2 of this article.<br /><script src="https://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">_uacct = "UA-1679002-1"; urchinTracker(); </script>Celina Summershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08581883122727085849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26892817.post-48428846802326919142019-10-08T10:11:00.000-04:002019-12-30T17:51:54.514-05:00Paranormal Parasites Overview--The Fringe Element of the Paranormal World<br /><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">In the 1920s, the most famous man in the world was arguably Harry Houdini, stage magician and escape artist. While normally this sort of entertainer would have concentrated on making his audiences believe that he possessed some supernatural power, Houdini was different. Not only did he claim the direct opposite, he went a step further. <a href="https://www.thegreatharryhoudini.com/occult.html" target="_blank">He claimed that no one had arcane abilities of magic or spirit communication, and he put his money where his mouth was. </a>&nbsp;After his mother died, Houdini tried to contact her through various psychic mediums, but none of them were legitimate. He began to give lectures on fake mediums. In 1924, he wrote and published a book: <i>A Magician Among The Spirits</i>. All year on his 1925 tour, he offered a $10,000 reward to anyone who proved to him that their purported abilities were real.&nbsp;<script src="https://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">_uacct = "UA-1679002-1"; urchinTracker(); </script></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cPiSfyyRwiQ/XZyXc6iemaI/AAAAAAAACB0/rAInraYhlsMsghQl53aw7xF-RPMufqONQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/houdini%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cPiSfyyRwiQ/XZyXc6iemaI/AAAAAAAACB0/rAInraYhlsMsghQl53aw7xF-RPMufqONQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/houdini%2B2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>No one ever claimed that money.</div><div><br /></div><div>At the time, the spiritualist movement was huge internationally. Less than a decade after World War I, too many families in Europe, Asia, and the Americas were still dealing with the deaths of their fathers, husbands, and sons. Europe was still in the throes of severe political upheaval, just a few years after the deposition of Tsar Nicholas and his subsequent execution along with his wife and children and only a few years before fascism took hold of a turbulent post-war Germany. If there were people with the ability to contact the dead, their talents and skill had never been more needed.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>And as with so many issues of faith, that terrible fact attracted the worst kinds of snake oil salesmen and exploitative opportunists. Houdini maintained a one-man war against them and was remarkably successful in his pursuit of frauds. After all, who was better situated to know all the tricks of the trade than a man who'd gotten rich from using those tricks to entertain sold-out theaters every night for months?&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Houdini was a magician, yes. But he was also an honest man, who couldn't bear the dishonesty that was coming between people struggling to survive during the Great Depression and their money--money that should have been used to feed and clothe their children instead of rewarding the lies a fake medium concocted. And Harry is perhaps the forefather of the awareness that around any paranormal community, there's a fringe element. I call the inhabitants of that element paranormal parasites, and they're far more common than you think.<br /><br />As a paranormal researcher, I've encountered these parasites in all sorts of locations and playing all sorts of roles. So for the purposes of this blog mini-series, I'm going to break these down into several groups of paranormal parasites: fakers or false victims; ghost hunters; paranormal clergy; psychics/mediums; demonology; paranormal tourism; haunted objects and paranormal equipment; and paranormal television.<br /><br />Yeah. I know what you're thinking. "But...but Celina! Are you saying that ALL paranormal stuff is some kind of scam?"<br /><br />No. What I'm saying is that paranormal parasites can be found at any level of involvement, and skepticism is necessary not only to understand what's happening around you but to protect yourself from something far&nbsp; more terrifying than cryptids and poltergeists.<br /><br />Doesn't matter what you believe in, there's nothing scarier than man.<br /><br />Each identified area will get its own blog post, along with signs of what to look for so that you won't end up becoming the victim of a parasite.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EqhOUuCMlXs/XZyXc9puAtI/AAAAAAAACBw/afZeST_ZUsoeaMk95k3e543it1e1fGsSQCEwYBhgL/s1600/hpoudini%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="270" data-original-width="186" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EqhOUuCMlXs/XZyXc9puAtI/AAAAAAAACBw/afZeST_ZUsoeaMk95k3e543it1e1fGsSQCEwYBhgL/s1600/hpoudini%2B1.jpg" /></a></div>The only way to verify legitimate paranormal activity is to eliminate any other potential explanations. Any long-time investigator (or Sherlock Holmes fan, for that matter) will inherently understand and agree with this. It's a fact. The only way you can conclusively determine if something is paranormal or supernatural is to eliminate every other possibility. In the paranormal world right now there are too many people desperate to prove that what they believe is a universal fact when in actuality, that's the direct opposite approach to what investigators should be doing.<br /><br />What we should be doing is trying to prove that what we witness, capture, or believe has a logical, non-paranormal provenance. Anything else is just a subjective experience--an allegation or a claim. And I'm not immune to that rule. All over the paranormal section of this blog are stories of events that I've experienced, documented, or researched. But those stories aren't evidence. You can't consider them proof of anything. BUT my subjective experiences. These observations do serve a purpose from an investigatory standpoint. They can be road maps, perhaps, to help investigators find evidence.<br /><br />For example, I tell the story of my experiences with the Bell Witch Cave and my earliest paranormal research in the post <a href="http://kaantira.blogspot.com/2015/10/the-real-bell-witch-legend-what-real.html" target="_blank">What A Real Night Investigating in Adams Is Like</a>. A significant portion of that post deals with how the rocks in the Bell Witch Cave should *never* be taken home as souvenirs. Heck, I didn't even TAKE a rock; they just showed up in my car. When I took one I missed back to the cave the next day, this is what happened:<br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #22292f; font-size: 16px;">The next morning on my way to class, I noticed that we'd forgotten one of the rocks we'd found piled up in the seats. I skipped my afternoon art history class to drive that rock back to Adams and give it back to Mr. Bims. When I got there, he was sitting outside on his lawnmower, and as I got out with the rock he smiled at me.</span></span>&nbsp;</span></blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #22292f; font-size: 16px;">Bims Edens was one of those slow-speaking, polite Southern gentlemen. He was so very kind, but he also had a devilish gleam in his eyes sometimes when he smiled. As I told him what had happened, his eyes got that little twinkle in them and he smiled slowly. "I knew something happened," he said. "You've never left before without telling us goodbye and thank you."</span></span>&nbsp;</span></blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #22292f; font-size: 16px;">"The rocks were what freaked me out," I confessed. "That's why I thought I'd better make sure to bring this straight back."</span><span style="color: #22292f; font-size: 16px;">"Last night the dead men's lanterns were glowing in the woods," he said, looking in the direction of the Bells' old graveyard. "Things was restless last night. Probably one of those stupid kids on the hayride got things riled up. But she gave you a warning, Celina. Better be careful, girl--she let you know that she knows who you are."</span></span>&nbsp;</span></blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #22292f; font-size: 16px;">Mr. Bims took the rock, said goodbye, and headed toward the trail. I knew he was going to put the rock back in the cave--like he always put those rocks that came back in the mail from all over. I should have taken it myself and spared the old man the trip, but I knew he wouldn't let me. He believed Kate had given me a warning, and so he'd given me one too.</span></span></blockquote>That's a pretty scary story but one that's ultimately just a subjective experience. There's no proof that the rocks from the Bell Witch Cave are cursed, right? The post was written in October, 2015 about events that happened in October, 1990. But two days ago, on October 6, 2019, the Fourman brothers released a new investigation on their paranormal channel called <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qkd-9z0O4Q" target="_blank">Paranormal Nightmares: The Haunting of Jackie Bell</a>. And a significant element of that story has to do with the severe haunting of a family after they visited the Bell Witch Cave and brought back rocks as souvenirs.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5qkd-9z0O4Q/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5qkd-9z0O4Q?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div><br /><br />Here again--this isn't evidence the proves those rocks are cursed. There isn't any scientific method that will verify the existence of a curse. But these two stories corroborate each other. Two events that occurred decades apart to people with no known connection or association but that have similar results. And what makes all this even more interesting is that the Fourman brothers take an EVP meter to one of the rocks from the Bell Witch Cave <b><i>at the clients' house</i></b>, and document extremely high EVP readings.<br /><br />And that<i> is</i> proof--not of the paranormal, necessarily, but of something unusual and different about that rock that marks it as unusual. Paired with both my story and Katharine Bell's story, the meter readings do seem to indicate that there's some kind of evidential trail that stretches from the Bell Witch Cave to subsequent paranormal activity. So there may be some way to learn more about the Bell Witch haunting as a result, and that's why I hope to investigate the cave again soon. Now that there's a concrete link, I can hopefully build off my subjective experience and look for additional evidence that can lead to proof of paranormal activity on the old Bell family land.<br /><br />There's a trail to follow. Sure, it'd be really easy for me (if I was a paranormal parasite) to sit here and say, "See? That's PROOF." But it's not enough to establish the legitimacy of the paranormal on its own. What is DOES do is give me a direction as an investigator, and that I can pursue.<br /><br />So I will.<br /><br />Oh and by the way, if you've never watched any of the Fourman Brothers' investigations, you've been missing out on what is one of the best paranormal research groups out there. Go check out this video, and I'm almost positive you'll be hooked.

Farmers, servants, tradesmen, and soldiers all lay beneath those tangled weeds, sleeping in an endless night. While their tombstones crumbled, their bones moldered and lichen obscured the few pitiful dates that were the final proof those lost souls had ever existed. Only the more-recently dead had well-tended graves, with the grass trimmed closely and flowers heaped against pristine white stones.<br /><br />I had a pair of scissors in the deep pocket of my cloak. I was here to attend to my father’s grave, alone in the middle of the night. I couldn’t bear to be accompanied or to be found sitting by his tomb during the still-warm autumnal sunlight, so I frequently came well after dark. I only felt close to him here, where he slept beneath the same sheltering angel as my mother.&nbsp; I could sit beside him, and confide my hopes and fears as I always had, without worrying that some passing traveler would think me mad.<br /><br />I stood alone over his silent earthen bed until another whirr of wind raised gooseflesh on the back of my neck. I slipped into the shadow of the grieving angel, letting the darkness of her wings conceal me as I glanced uneasily at the ornate mausoleum atop the hill.<br /><br />My face warmed as fear flashed through my veins, and my nerves began to sing uncomfortably against my skin.<br /><br />Something was wrong here…threatening.<br /><br />Usually, my father’s grave was a place of refuge, of safety against a world that too often seemed to crowd ugliness into my life. Usually when I entered the graveyard, my father’s love surrounded me like a cloak, protecting me from all the other emotions a cemetery contained. I had been coming now for over a year—at least once a week since my father’s death. I hadn’t met anyone in the graveyard at midnight, which was why I liked it—and I had never felt anything here other than peace.<br /><br />Until now.<br /><br />Aside from the brisk wind that carried the first scent of snow on its fingers, the graveyard was silent and still. The path that stretched in front of my parents’ graves continued up the sole hill in the cemetery, until it reached a veritable palace for the dead perched on its summit. A strained glow of light illuminated the pale columns and pediments of the huge mausoleum—the final resting place of the powerful Montesquieu family—as the moon peeked from behind the scudding clouds overhead. The polished marble gleamed silver as the moonlight strengthened, casting deep shadows beneath the tomb’s wall but illuminating the small plateau before the scrolled iron doors. That glow grew, subtly, and a figure slipped from the inky shadows to stand before the doors.<br /><br />Surely I wasn’t seeing what I thought I was seeing. A mime stood in front of the mausoleum door, apparently regarding the engraved names there with his head cocked to one side.<br /><br />No, not a mime. A harlequin.<br /><br />The red, green, and blue triangular patches of his costume had reminded me of the character’s name. A harlequin was usually funny. I’d loved harlequins as a child in Paris, for their capers were as colorful as their costumes.<br /><br />But this harlequin was different. As I stared up at him from where I was tucked into the protective curve of the angel’s wing, he turned as if he saw me watching. He wore a half-mask of black, revealing a strong jaw and a sensual mouth. Fear traced a white-hot prickle down the back of my neck.<br /><br />No, this was not a harlequin. This was the Harlequin. For this fiend, the word Harlequin was a title, not a name. All at once I remembered that despite all his handsprings and jauntiness, the Harlequin was always the character that escorted wrongdoers to hell. His antics were just a disguise for his sinister nature.<br /><br />“What a little beauty.”<br /><br />The words were purred suggestively right behind me, the speaker’s breath stirring the tiny hairs on my nape. I spun around to find the Harlequin standing just a foot away. He pirouetted and when he faced me again, his lips were quirked into a triumphant half-smile.<br /><br />“Welcome to the garden of death, sweet mortal. Welcome to the arena where the Harlequin reigns supreme and humanity stands trial. Welcome to the theater of power.” With a stylized flourish of his hands that I could recognize from any two-sou pantomime in Paris, he bowed, making the obeisance at once a mockery and a threat. When he straightened, his eyes narrowed behind his mask.<br /><br />Involuntarily, I took a step back from his piercing glare, and the tips of the feathers on the angel’s carved wings dug cruelly into the base of my spine.<br /><br />“Leave the girl alone.”<br /><br />The low-growled words came from just behind me and I jumped. For a second time, I turned sharply to find a man in this…garden of death, as the Harlequin had called it. His face was obscured by the shadows cast by the hovering angel.<br /><br />The newcomer’s voice was both tense and disgusted. “She is too young to play your vicious games. Satisfy your malice by contending with me, not her.”<br /><br />“You are very concerned for this girl’s safety. What of your brother? Would you be willing to wager your care of him to keep this pretty young morsel protected from my…interest?” The Harlequin cocked his head to the side in an exaggerated gesture of inquiry. “Would you forfeit his soul in exchange for this girl’s safety?”<br /><br />“Your enmity is for me. Are you too much of a coward to face a grown man and so must slake your thirst for cruelty upon a child?”<br /><br />Before I could protest that I wasn’t a child, my unknown defender stepped between me and the Harlequin, so that I was pinned in place by the weeping angel on one side and protected by his broad, cloaked back on the other. I peeked around his arm to stare as the Harlequin abandoned his languid pose.<br /><br />“Take care, mortal. Take great care in how you speak to me.”<br /><br />“Advice you should probably follow yourself,” the man retorted pointedly, resting his hand upon the hilt of his sword. His other arm he extended, shielding me from the fiend confronting us, and said over his shoulder, “You can go now, mademoiselle. Do not stay in the cemetery. Do not tarry; just run as fast as you can and get away home.”<br /><br />“Will you flee, Odette?” the Harlequin murmured, his eyes glinting through his mask. “Beautiful Odette, young Odette de Chevigny—will you run from this garden of death to your virginal bed in your grandfather’s chateau? Fly now, sweet Odette—”<br /><br />“How did you—oh! I don’t care how you know my name!” I sputtered at last, freed from the convulsive fear that had kept me silent so far. “I am here to tend my father’s grave and you are keeping me from doing that, both of you. Now get out of my way and leave me alone.”<br /><br />The Harlequin danced around my protector, his eyes gleaming as his lips stretched into a nasty smile.<br />“Odette! What a lovely name. Will you not run as your guard bids you?”<br /><br />“Run? Why should I run?”<br /><br />The fiend watched me curiously from behind his mask and the man turned to regard me. As the moonlight struck the high-boned features of his face, I recognized him instantly. My defender was Charles, the young Marquis de Montesquieu, the hero of the Battle of Minorca, home after being wounded as he led our troops in the capture of Port Mahon from the British. Especially favored by our King, Louis XV, the Marquis was my grandfather’s nearest neighbor, a decorated officer, and a practiced courtier. He took my elbow in a strong hand and pulled me down the hillside path.<br /><br />“You need to go home, child. Run! This thing is not what he seems.”<br /><br />“I am not a child,” I protested even as his fingers tightened warningly on my arm. “Besides, I can’t leave you here alone—with that. Who is this man dressed up like a pantomime performer? And why—”<br /><br />“Yes, why don’t you tell the child who I am?” the Harlequin asked mockingly. “Not such a child is she, Monsieur le Marquis—not when she’s nineteen and ripe for a man’s hand, this daughter of Reynard, Vicomte de Chevigny?” He ran a hand lovingly along the letters of my father’s name on the tombstone as he pronounced each word, and my blood chilled within my veins.<br /><br />The Marquis looked down into my face for the first time, and his eyes were shadowed. “Go home, mademoiselle. I will call upon you tomorrow and explain what I can, but you must leave. I cannot protect us both.”<br /><br />I regarded him thoughtfully. Charles de Montesquieu was supposed to be a stern, almost forbidding man. Almost everyone who lived in the county or associated with him was afraid of angering him. But his laborers loved him, for he was fair and protective of those who depended upon him, and my grandfather, who’d been a close friend and political ally of his father, respected him greatly—something I could say about few men. Even now, his expression was carefully neutral, but I could see the tiniest hints of strain pulling the muscles of his hard-planed face tight with repressed emotion.<br /><br />“Very well, I shall expect you tomorrow,” I said at last.<br /><br />“How easily you fall into the trap so blatantly set,” the Harlequin crooned. “Yes, Monsieur le Marquis, go along to see young Odette tomorrow, and explain to her what the Harlequin means. For now she, too, is playing my game, and it would be well for her to understand the stakes—”<br /><br />“Go now,” the Marquis urged, ignoring the capering villain behind him as he lifted my hand formally to his lips. As soon as he released me, I went around the angel lamenting over my parents’ graves and returned to the path that would lead me to the home of my grandfather and safety. A burst of maniacal laughter rose behind me as I lifted my skirts and ran.<br /><br />That was the beginning—of everything. At that moment, I had no idea how much that chance meeting in the graveyard would loom over my life.<br /> <br /><div><br /></div><script src="https://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">_uacct = "UA-1679002-1"; urchinTracker(); </script>Celina Summershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08581883122727085849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26892817.post-33693539665421699892019-09-17T19:33:00.003-04:002019-09-17T20:19:56.305-04:00Sorry, Football Scoop and Scott Roussel, But Butch Jones Should Never Coach Again<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2b5x654YF9A/XYFtQy6gIEI/AAAAAAAACAk/c-sb7vYwY9sZJ3ltXJTaI9cinf5FBqVmACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/tennessee%2Btrash.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=26892817" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2b5x654YF9A/XYFtQy6gIEI/AAAAAAAACAk/c-sb7vYwY9sZJ3ltXJTaI9cinf5FBqVmACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/tennessee%2Btrash.jpg" width="320" /></div>You know, I've enjoyed a Butch Jones-free life. It's been pleasant. No stupid gimmicks. No lies. No BS. But now that we're looking at the meat of the football season and the football coaching carousel is about to start up again, some benighted folks--and journalists--are going to do exactly <a href="https://footballscoop.com/news/case-butch-jones-teams-next-head-coach/" target="_blank">what Scott Roussel did in his column today for FootballScoop.com</a>. They're going to look at Butch Jones as a viable option for a major football program, especially now that Nick Saban has applied a bit of shinola to disguise the you-know-what that's currently "interning" at Alabama so he can milk every drop of cash out of the University of Tennessee.<br /><div><br /></div><div>And Scott Roussel, the president and owner of FootballScoop.com, thinks that Butch Jones should be a head coach again.<br /><div><br /></div><div>For someone who states emphatically "Butch Jones will be a head football coach again", I have a lot of questions. First off, has no one at FootballScoop been paying attention the past few years? Did you just miss everything that happened since 2015? Since that seems to be the case here, let me help you guys understand why Rousel's column was so ill-advised. Let's take a look at why the last man in America who should be permitted to be the head coach of any football program is Butch Jones.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>But first off...</div><div><br /></div><div>You know, Scott...Butch doesn't seem to be all that impatient to get back into coaching. He's content with bringing Saban his coffee and polishing Bama helmets for $35k a year...and so would I be if I had a $6.82 million dollar buyout.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Stop and think for a moment. Does it seem like he's chomping at the bit to get back on the field?&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>No, and there's a reason for that.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>In order to start the new con game, you have to make sure the previous one is forgotten. You know, the one where every year of Jones's tenure at UT there were 25-35 players on the injury list by mid-October, leading directly to those end of season collapses of extremely talented teams.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Many of those most promising players, the 4- and 5-star recruits Scott was drooling over now no longer play football at all. On any level. Why? Because the Volunteers football program was abusive under Butch Jones. He overruled team physicians and forced injured players to go ahead and play anyway. One of the best examples of this occurred during the 2016 Tennessee-Texas A&amp;M game. Eight players went down in the game.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Some never came back. Many of those departed players cited the verbal, mental, emotional, and physical abuse they endured under Butch Jones as the reason for their departure.</div><div><br /></div><div>You think parents want to entrust their 5-star players to a coach whose primary concern isn't their son's health and safety? It doesn't matter if the recruiting classes were great if those players leave mid-career and go somewhere else.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Or lose their future in football entirely.</div><div><br /></div><div>Players have reported that they were used like gang members to keep other players in line. Some players who demonstrated too independent a thought process when it came to the health and safety of their own bodies were jumped on the practice field by his teammates while the head coach stood there and watched it happen. In fact, the head coach had <i>ordered</i> it to happen, like a Code Red from the play/movie <i>A Few Good Men.</i>&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Think that's a great look for your program?</div><div><br /></div><div>Think...really<i><b> think</b></i> about that 2016 season, when Tennessee started off ranked in the top five in the preseason. Over the span of thirteen months--from the kickoff of 2016 to Butch Jones's firing in October, 2017--the Vols went from top-five, to a 9-4 season record, and then, incredibly, to the basement of everything with a 4-8 record in 2017. The first time in UT's history that the school was winless in the SEC, and a full one-third of the team had either left the program or were out with injury by mid-season for the third season in a row.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=26892817" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>As for never losing to a bowl-eligible team, what a crock! Tennessee lost to bowl-eligible teams every single season under Butch Jones. Alabama. Florida, Georgia. South Carolina. Oklahoma. West Virginia. Did you miss those 4-7 losses UT racked up every year under Butch Jones?<br /><br />Not a great job of research there, buddy.</div><div><br /></div><div>Why is it that the University of Tennessee led the nation in transfer requests for several years? Think that speaks highly of Butch Jones's treatment of players?&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Think it speaks highly of his active obstruction in those requests, costing players not only time on the gridiron but time getting their educations? Many former players reported having their transcripts blocked and their eligibility as well for several years after leaving UT.</div><div><br /></div><div>What good were all those top ten recruiting classes then? Matriculation doesn't result in a collapse like that. A coach's primary job is to make certain that the team has the right elements in place so the turnover between upperclassmen to underclassmen is seamless. But that didn't happen at UT.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Why is that? It doesn't matter how great a Vols recruiting class is if the majority don't play for the entirety of their collegiate career at UT. Florida had a top ten recruiting class this year and lost many of those players before the season started. Did FootballScoop cover that?&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Everyone else did, and seemed to agree there was something wrong with the program in order for that to happen. Why wasn't the exodus of players from UT&nbsp; given the same scrutiny? Did you cover that?&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Did you even know?</div><div><br /></div><div>Why is it that through Butch Jones' five-year tenure at UT, the Vols consistently collapsed after three quarters only to lose the game in the final minutes? Abysmal coaching decisions.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Why is it that the most loyal, steadfast fan base in America rose up in rebellion against their own school, forcing the firing of Butch Jones and a few weeks later that of then-athletic director John Currie? Does anyone with a functioning brain really think that was just an uneducated mob of fans raising hell for the fun of it?&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I hope not. It's never a good thing to insult your target market. Just saying. The uprising was spontaneous but it was also focused and well-directed, resulting in an event unprecedented in college athletics. <b>That entire fiasco in the fall of 2017 originated with Butch Jones.</b></div><div><br /></div><div>So answer me honestly: why is it that anyone, athletic director, fan, or sports journalist, would want to bring such a toxic element into their own football program? Oh and by the way, we're not just talking about Tennessee here. Maybe you should dig into what happened at the University of Cincinnati during Butch Jones's time there while you're at it, Scott.</div><div><br /></div><div>Butch Jones left the University of Tennessee an absolute disaster between craptastic athletic training, the abuse and torment of his players, the exodus of talent from Rocky Top, and ruining the lives and futures of multiple great players. and one of the most humiliating episodes in sports history If Butch Jones legitimately had something to offer another program, he'd already be riding the coaching carousel (like Urban Meyer already is) and selling himself (again) as the once and future king of great football.&nbsp;</div><div><div><br /></div><div>But he's not. He's grinning like an idiot down in Tuscaloosa, acquiring that Alabama mystique while he milks the university whose football program he ruined of half a million dollars a month. He's not pimping himself because he intends to get every penny of that $6.82 million dollar buyout, thumbing his nose like a child from his bolt hole in Tuscaloosa.&nbsp;</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Nick Saban's Head Coach Rehabilitation program's court jester, who gives zero damns about coaching again until his internship and his buyout end.</div><div><br /></div><div>After what Butch Jones did to the University of Tennessee, its fan base, and its athletes (which is the most important of the three) he should never be allowed to set foot on any football field in a position of authority ever again. If some poor wretched school does bring Butch Jones in to "turn around" their program, they are placing the eighty-five young men on their roster in the path of physical, educational, and financial ruin. Period.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>And those are the facts.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I'd recommend you read two books that detail what was happening at the University of Tennessee football program, Scott. Maybe pass it along to your colleagues there at Football Scoop too.

With hauntings, only about 5% of the cases paranormal teams investigate are legitimately haunted. Of legitimately haunted locations, only 5-10% are negative in nature--most are residual, too, and don't involve an intelligent haunting. These kinds of statistics are mirrored when it comes to true possessions. In the same December, 2018 article from The Atlantic, the Catholic priests (who all have over ten years' experience as exorcists) that were interviewed all said they'd worked on "only a handful" of true possessions in their careers.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;utopia&quot; , &quot;palatino linotype&quot; , &quot;palatino&quot; , serif; font-size: 16px;">This is for a couple of reasons. First off, the Catholic church has a seriously thorough discernment process before they commit to an exorcism. Father Thomas laid this out in our LiveSciFi interview as well. Before the church risks the spiritual and physical health both of the victim and the exorcism team, the person is subjected to physical examination and then a psychiatric evaluation. Only if the victim gets through both of those will an exorcist consider whether or not the individual is possessed.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;utopia&quot; , &quot;palatino linotype&quot; , &quot;palatino&quot; , serif; font-size: 16px;">If someone claims you need an exorcism and does NOT require medical and psychological competency testing, run away.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;utopia&quot; , &quot;palatino linotype&quot; , &quot;palatino&quot; , serif; font-size: 16px;">Fast.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;utopia&quot; , &quot;palatino linotype&quot; , &quot;palatino&quot; , serif; font-size: 16px;">You think I'm kidding, but I recently witnessed an "archbishop" who frequently shows up on paranormal television shows tell two people in ten minutes that they were possessed and required an exorcism. He didn't know the history of the two people, their medical history, their psychological state, or their motivations. And neither of these people were walking up walls or spitting up pea soup either. But somehow, this "archbishop" was able to diagnose the need for spiritual warfare within minutes of being in the same place at the same time as the people he alleged to be possessed.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;utopia&quot; , &quot;palatino linotype&quot; , &quot;palatino&quot; , serif; font-size: 16px;">Putting it frankly, that's bullshit.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;utopia&quot; , &quot;palatino linotype&quot; , &quot;palatino&quot; , serif; font-size: 16px;">A true possession occurs when the victim finally succumbs to the diabolical influence in their life that's been gradually breaking them down through the infestation and oppression stages we've looked at already. After suffering through infestation and oppression, the victim is extremely depressed by this point and is on the brink of giving up the only thing the demon wants--their soul.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;utopia&quot; , &quot;palatino linotype&quot; , &quot;palatino&quot; , serif; font-size: 16px;">At the end of the day, the struggles against diabolical agents all come down to the same thing. The longer the victim fights against becoming fully possessed, the worse the paranormal activity surrounding him becomes. Bringing in investigators at this point just endangers them. Only&nbsp;</span><i style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;"><b>legitimate exorcists</b></i><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;utopia&quot; , &quot;palatino linotype&quot; , &quot;palatino&quot; , serif; font-size: 16px;">&nbsp;can help the victims of true possession--and&nbsp;</span><b style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;"><i>legitimate</i></b><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;utopia&quot; , &quot;palatino linotype&quot; , &quot;palatino&quot; , serif; font-size: 16px;">&nbsp;is the key phrase here.

Sure, the clergy from your family's church are a great option when it comes to blessing a person or location.

Students do not have to be Catholic priests; the church has opened the doors to exorcist training to practitioners of all faiths.

Can't be stated any more strongly than that. If an exorcist or a demonologist has to advertise for clients that's a huge red flag. Another huge red flag? They offer "courses" where for $99, you get reading material AND a certificate meant to validate you as a paranormal investigator or a demonologist or an exorcist.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;utopia&quot; , &quot;palatino linotype&quot; , &quot;palatino&quot; , serif; font-size: 16px;">Total BS, folks.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;utopia&quot; , &quot;palatino linotype&quot; , &quot;palatino&quot; , serif; font-size: 16px;">Considering the surge of purported oppression and possession cases in the world, why would an exorcist need to advertise? Exorcist is pretty much at the top of the list of "jobs no sane person wants".&nbsp; There is NOTHING fun or exciting about confronting a demonic entity. So why would an exorcist need to drum up new clientele?</span><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;utopia&quot; , &quot;palatino linotype&quot; , &quot;palatino&quot; , serif; font-size: 16px;">There are two answers to that question. First, the exorcists who are looking for new clients and more notoriety are the ones who are skulking around on the rotating "guest appearance on paranormal reality shows" list. But second--and pay attention, because this one's the most important--</span><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;utopia&quot; , &quot;palatino linotype&quot; , &quot;palatino&quot; , serif; font-size: 16px;">Remember way up at the top of this article when I quoted the statistics for legitimate hauntings, demonic hauntings, and demonic possession cases? Possessions are extremely rare. So the odds that he'll confront a for-real demon are basically nil. Those odds are always in a fake exorcist's favor. Fake exorcists are snake oil salesmen who exploit their clientele, performing deliverance ceremonies on people who aren't even close to being possessed. They're the equivalent of faith healers who hide chicken livers in their hands and pretend to pull "tumors" from patients' bodies. A fake exorcist demands no medical or psychological exams; they have no real discernment protocols. They are running a huge scam for fame and excitement, which is basically the spiritual equivalent of giving someone chemotherapy for a splinter in their big toe.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;utopia&quot; , &quot;palatino linotype&quot; , &quot;palatino&quot; , serif; font-size: 16px;">Anyone can read from the Roman Ritual--you can download .pdf files online. But the Ritual doesn't have the power to confront a real demon unless the person reading the Roman Ritual has the spiritual backing that ordination in the Church or training and education by the Church or valid religious backgrounds confer.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;utopia&quot; , &quot;palatino linotype&quot; , &quot;palatino&quot; , serif;">Beware, too, of variations on the Catholic Church. Learn to differentiate between the REAL Catholic faith, not a fake one claiming to exist because of a schismatic bishop of Utrecht (this digs deeply into dogma, so we'll refrain from getting into this until the paranormal parasites article coming up.) BUT doesn't have a single church he or she preaches at. Seriously. If the "archbishop" who's advertising as an exorcist has no congregation, no link with a legitimate denomination, and if their mailing address is obviously their apartment? That's not a valid member of the clergy. There are purported archbishops out there where the entirety of their religion appears to be an archbishop, three or four bishops, a couple of deacons, and that's about it. They have more clergy than parishioners&nbsp;because there are no parishes. Many fake exorcists claim to be of the OLD Catholic Church. Word to the wise--there is no Catholic Church older than the Roman Catholic Church. There is a schismatic branch called the Old Catholic Church that the Vatican recognizes as a legitimate arm of the Church, but the real Old Catholic Church has things like churches, denominations, Mass, et cetera and doesn't require a mailing address at a strip mall.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;utopia&quot; , &quot;palatino linotype&quot; , &quot;palatino&quot; , serif; font-size: 16px;">So if for some reason you don't want a Roman Catholic exorcist, your best bet is to contact credible paranormal researchers who can set you on the right path.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;utopia&quot; , &quot;palatino linotype&quot; , &quot;palatino&quot; , serif; font-size: 16px;">Like here, for example.

The Catholic Church is playing catch-up and installing an exorcist in every diocese in the US but still can't meet the demand...<br /><br /><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->This scenario was unfathomable in 1973, when the film version of Peter Blatty's horror masterpiece <em>The Exorcist</em> was released. In fact, most people were unaware that such things as demonic possession or exorcists actually existed. The Catholic Church had spent a century backing away from any public association with such things, and especially from the rite of exorcism, which had been first been given official guidelines in 1614. Those guidelines weren't updated until 1999, and now twenty years later the explosion of desperate requests for spiritual rescue from the diabolical has rendered the entirety of the process cumbersome and difficult to navigate.<br /><br /><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->But recently, the Church has been changing its tune. The Catholic Church is in the process of assigning an exorcist in every diocese in the US--all one hundred and ninety-seven of them--which is a turnabout of dogma no one could have foreseen. That's a huge investment of money and time, but even then, it's not enough. The exorcist for the Diocese of Indianapolis told <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/12/catholic-exorcisms-on-the-rise/573943/">The Atlantic in its December issue from last year</a> that his office had fielded over 1700 requests (and counting) for exorcisms for 2018.<br /><br /><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->While there are now denominations on the Protestant side of the aisle that perform legitimate rites of deliverance, there's also a swelling preponderance of paranormal parasites that use people's fear of the diabolical to create fame for themselves.

Exorcisms are not a game and cannot be taken lightly, because this ritual <a href="https://www.livescience.com/18792-exorcism-kills.html">sometimes leads to the death of the very person who sought help in the first place. </a><br /><br />This article is an extremely broad beginner's guide to demonology, one that will hopefully enable readers to arm themselves against diabolical agents--both the demonic and the paranormal parasites.

The first stage is manifestation or infestation. In this stage, the diabolical agent begins to insinuate itself into its victim's environment. Why does it need to do such a thing?<br /><br /><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->Because a demon must first be invited into a person's life and then be given permission to remain there.<br /><br />That doesn't mean sending an embossed greeting card that says, "I invite you to screw my whole world up." A demon can be invited into a person's life in many innocuous-seeming ways. The Ouija board fad that swept through your middle school. Or that faze you went through in high school, when you and your three BFFs started your secret "coven" like they did in the movie <em>The Craft</em>. Or when you decided you'd become a paranormal investigator and without knowledge or training bought equipment and headed to as many haunted places as you could to provoke a few spirits like they do on TV.<br /><br />I've seen the results of all three of this stories because they are real stories I've been told when investigating an apparent demonic infestation. The consequences of all those innocent excursions into the diabolical realm are severe, life-wrecking, and traumatic.<br /><br />Satanic worship is, of course, the quick and easy way to catch the notice of the infernal. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDIdWV4vQUg">Father Gary Thomas, exorcist for the diocese of San Jose, CA informed me in a 2017 video interview </a>&nbsp;I did for LiveSciFi that generational curses (when a whole family is cursed by an outsider or when a mother consecrates her unborn child to the demonic) are more prevalent than anyone realizes. But tragically, a history of sexual abuse also can lead to demonic notice.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gDIdWV4vQUg/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gDIdWV4vQUg?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Yep.

Because the alleged haunting was focused on the home, the Ammons family was able to flee the residence into safety. (Of course, the subsequent owner, Zak Bagans, bulldozed the house after he finished his documentary on the alleged activity, so no one else can validate his alleged experiences there. Quite convenient.) But usually, an infestation is centered around a person, and if that person moves they take the haunting with them to their new residence. During the earliest stages of the infestation, the demon begins to wind itself into the fabric of its victim's world. But even after a demon starts to impact its victim's life, it needs permission to stay. That doesn't mean that you have to physically tell the thing it can stay. It means that you accept its influence within your environment, and more importantly, upon your person.<br /><br /><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->If a demonic entity succeeds in creating a link with its victim, it can then move forward into the next stage.<br /><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><a href="https://livescifi.tv/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/english-abraxas-or-abracax-an-illustration-from-the-dictionnaire-infernal-by-enjacques-collin-de-plancy-abraxas-MN0784.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" class="size-medium wp-image-12857 alignright" height="300" src="https://livescifi.tv/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/english-abraxas-or-abracax-an-illustration-from-the-dictionnaire-infernal-by-enjacques-collin-de-plancy-abraxas-MN0784-236x300.jpg" width="236" /></a><strong></strong><br /><strong><strong><br /></strong></strong><strong>Demonic Oppression</strong><br /><strong><br /></strong><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->Now that the demon has the necessary introduction into the victim's life, it can begin to impact its victim more strongly. In this stage, usually, the innocent-seeming haunting escalates in intensity. The demon begins to attack its victim. Scratches, bite marks, and unexplained bruising batters the person's body. Sexual attacks may also occur. These attacks are designed to a wear a person down, to take away their willpower and make them easier to subdue.<br /><br /><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->Usually at this stage, the haunting expands as well. The victim's family and home may be terrorized with paranormal activity. That's why this is typically the time when a family brings a paranormal investigation team or a psychic into their home, desperate for some validation of what's happening to them and hopefully some kind of rescue plan. Unfortunately, that's not going to work, for one big reason:<br /><br /><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><strong><em>PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS CANNOT FREE A LOCATION OR PERSON FROM A DEMONIC OPPRESSION.</em></strong><br /><br /><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->By the time a paranormal group is called, the demon is already solidly lodged in its victim's life. The demon has been invited in by accident--remember that tarot reading game you "played" in high school?--and then inadvertently given permission to remain. The only remedy at this point is spiritual, and that means the clergy.<br /><br />But paranormal investigations do provide a very necessary function to the victims of a demonic haunting, and that's documentation. Evidence that's been captured on video or audio equipment can validate the victim's story. You can't just call your diocese, tell them your house is haunted, and an exorcist pulls up in the Ghostbusters ambulance ten minutes later. That's not the way it works. You have to have that documentation just so the Church doesn't dismiss you as being a passenger on the cray-cray train. So yes--call someone in to investigate and hopefully get that validation for you. (Don't do it yourself, though. You're too invested in proving there's a haunting. A legitimate paranormal team isn't.) I'll be delving deeply into how to find a trustworthy paranormal investigation team in an upcoming article.<br /><br />Let me reiterate: for a true demonic oppression, your only recourse is through a spiritual intervention. The Roman Ritual (aka the Rite of Exorcism) is the clergy's weapon against the diabolical. However, the clergy isn't normally brought into a case until the victim reaches the third and final stage of demonic hauntings.<br /><br />We'll get into possessions and why you don't want an exorcist who advertises in part two of this article tomorrow.

What we discussed yesterday was rudimentary demonology. Today, we're going to sort through Zozo in the modern day, and we'll be getting into some dark and dangerous stuff. Read at your own risk.</span><br /><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Ouija, Spirit, and Talking Boards and Zozo</b><b><o:p></o:p></b></span><br /><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The first patent issued for a device used for contacting the dead was in the mid-nineteenth century, not for a talking board but a gadget that could be used in automatic writing. The first mention of spirit boards was in 1886 by the Associated Press, when they were touted as the newest and most accurate communication device used in Ohio spiritualist camps.&nbsp;</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Ouija board as we know it today was invented in 1890 and patented (the planchette was the reason the board could be patented considering that handmade spirit boards were already in common use at the time) by Charles Kennard in 1891. So many people were desperate to communicate with their loved ones following the Civil War and then three decades later for World War I that the Ouija board became an essential part of the grieving process as well as a drawing room's entertainment option. That is...until disturbing coincidences began to pop up in Ouija board communication. Zozo is perhaps the best-known of these today, having earned the nickname of “the Ouija board demon” in the past twenty-five years.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Encounters with the entity that called itself Zozo reportedly began to occur on the Ouija board in the second half of the twentieth century. In the 1960s and 70s, the Ouija board was marketed as a toy, thereby ensuring that most users of the board were under twenty-five. Ouija use had an upsurge in the eighties. As the internet was developed in subsequent decades and became more accessible,&nbsp;<a href="https://livescifi.tv/2019/03/zozo-demon-ouija-board-stories/"><span style="color: blue;">Zozo encounters</span></a>&nbsp;gradually rose and victims began to compare notes. Darren Evans’s website publication in 2008 gave those victims a forum. Once video streaming equipment improved,&nbsp;<a href="https://livescifi.tv/2017/07/top-5-ouija-board-gone-wrong-caught-tape-videos-2017/"><span style="color: blue;">Zozo videos increased</span></a>&nbsp;at an exponential rate—particularly in the last four years.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Of course, the reason for that is easily explained.More people are&nbsp;<i>looking&nbsp;</i>for Zozo.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ejvtN37GKiQ/XVeZNm8EiKI/AAAAAAAAB_k/6z1O4l97RbMKWESZEzsERU3HntQZNUtDACLcBGAs/s1600/L%25C3%25A9chies_%2528Dictionnaire_infernal%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1248" data-original-width="1077" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ejvtN37GKiQ/XVeZNm8EiKI/AAAAAAAAB_k/6z1O4l97RbMKWESZEzsERU3HntQZNUtDACLcBGAs/s320/L%25C3%25A9chies_%2528Dictionnaire_infernal%2529.jpg" width="276" /></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">There are non-paranormal explanations for Zozo as well. Zozo could be the result of a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tulpa.info/what-is-a-tulpa/"><span style="color: blue;">tulpa</span></a>—an entity or phenomenon created through mental discipline, like the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thoughtco.com/how-to-create-a-ghost-2594058"><span style="color: blue;">Philip experiment</span></a>&nbsp;in Toronto, Ontario allegedly managed to do in the early 1970s. For that matter, what people take as communication on a Ouija board could actually be the result of ideomotor movements--involuntary twitches of the hands that propel the planchette across the spirit board in a predictable and repeated manner.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">With escalating visibility on platforms like YouTube, the unsuspecting, or the thrill seekers who "play" Ouija are a rich pool of potential prey for the demonic realm to feed upon.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">That doesn't mean Zozo is fake. Tulpas are alleged to exist and take on personalities and agendas of their own. At the present moment, Zozo is a dangerous reality, whether it's hung around for centuries or was created by the subconscious minds of people popping LSD-laced sugar cubes in 1975. The Zozo entity is not only real, but it's growing stronger and being fed by the resulting craze around it.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background: white;">And oh, how it's grown. Zozo has exploded on a global level, as has the number of people claiming to have had experiences with the entity. The 2012 movie&nbsp;<i><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">I Am Zozo&nbsp;</span></i>undoubtedly had a great deal to do with that, as did the 2014 major motion picture&nbsp;<i><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">Ouija</span></i>&nbsp;and investigations conducted by the Travel Channel’s&nbsp;<i><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">Ghost Adventures</span></i>&nbsp;show at about the same time. In fact, during the 2014 Christmas season, Ouija board sales were&nbsp;</span><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2855439/Sales-Ouija-boards-300-threatening-Christmas-buy-despite-Church-England-warning.html"><span style="background: white; border: 1pt none; color: black; padding: 0in;">up 300% from the year before</span></a><span style="background: white;">.&nbsp;</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Currently (August, 2019), there are 36.5 million hits on Google when searching for Zozo. That's a lot of people focusing their energy on the same entity or tulpa...a lot of fuel. If Zozo didn't exist before the&nbsp;<i>Dictionnaire Infernal</i>&nbsp;in 1818, it certainly does now.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Zozo Characteristics/Behavior</b><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Items associated with Zozo: Blackbirds, Louisiana, slavery, Voodoo and other French/African religious blends, the number 28, French/Basque and African etymology, sex or sexual assault, possession of humans, possession of animals, Ouija or spirit boards, death and/or suicide, and haunted locations.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Behavioral habits: When the entity first presents itself, it’s usually pretending to be a dead friend or family member so it can make a connection with the person it’s targeting on the board. Once the relationship between the Ouija user and the entity is established, Zozo announces its presence on the Ouija board when it appears. The planchette either begins to move rapidly from side to side in an arc between the letters Z and O, or it starts an escalating series of figure 8 movements in the center of the board.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But once the bond is established between Zozo and a board user, the entity departs from “normal” demonic behavior. The Zozo entity names itself at the beginning of each interaction. Zozo, Zaza, Zizi, Oz, Ozoz, Mama, and Abacus are all known aliases of the Zozo entity.&nbsp;The entity frequently refers to “paradise” and uses the word “abracadabra” as well, which has a&nbsp;disputed etymological history dating back to ancient times.&nbsp;</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OapjfrSF-L8/XVeZmcCvUDI/AAAAAAAAB_s/WOs7XxUPQ6sYgwhtftqcBzF0-x4bSjkggCLcBGAs/s1600/abracadabra.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="234" data-original-width="170" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OapjfrSF-L8/XVeZmcCvUDI/AAAAAAAAB_s/WOs7XxUPQ6sYgwhtftqcBzF0-x4bSjkggCLcBGAs/s1600/abracadabra.jpg" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background: white; color: #222222;">The first known mention of the word was in the second century AD in a book called&nbsp;<i>Liber Medicinalis</i>&nbsp;by&nbsp;</span><span style="background: white;">Serenus Sammonicus</span><span style="background: white; color: #222222;">,&nbsp;</span><span style="background: white;">physician</span><span style="background: white; color: #222222;">&nbsp;to the&nbsp;</span><span style="background: white;">Roman emperor</span><span style="background: white; color: #222222;">&nbsp;</span><span style="background: white;">Caracalla</span><span style="background: white; color: #222222;">, who in chapter 51 prescribed that&nbsp;</span><span style="background: white;">malaria</span><span style="background: white; color: #222222;">&nbsp;sufferers wear an amulet containing the word written in the form of a triangle.</span>&nbsp;"Abracadabra" has also been attributed to Gnostics, Greeks, and Sumerians, but is almost certainly Hebrew/Aramaic in origin.&nbsp;</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Perhaps the most ominous behavior of the entity is the countdown. The board counts down from ten to one, and that usually prefaces extremely negative paranormal activity.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The most terrifying behavior is its knowledge of things it shouldn't know, like something that happened in a board user's childhood and none of their current friends knows about *or* something as totally invasive as knowing what color a person's underwear is.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">And through it all, Zozo is acknowledged as a demonic entity. I absolutely think Zozo is demonic in nature. So do many paranormal researchers, investigators, and scholars...not to mention clergy.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So why, then, haven’t attempted exorcisms of the Zozo entity worked? In 2017, LiveSciFi founder Tim Wood and I conducted a month-long experiment, trying to learn as much about this puzzling entity as we cold without endangering ourselves, each other, or any of the half a million subscribers on YouTube who showed up nightly to witness our live-streamed investigation. I believe our conclusions from the Zozo experiment explain why this isn't just a demon, but an evolution of something entirely different.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Zozo Experiment and Subsequent Conclusions</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Zozo demon can’t be exorcised for one very simple reason—Zozo isn’t a demon.We believe Zozo is something entirely different—an alias used by multiple demonic entities in order to gain access to potential victims.&nbsp;</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You can’t exorcise Zozo because it’s not a demon. It’s a gateway. Some kid can ‘play’ with the Ouija board one time and he’s opened the gate and invited whatever’s close by and looking for a victim to come on in.&nbsp;</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You’ve heard of demons or psychics or demonologists talking about Legion, right? Zozo is the revolving door of Legion, and you never know if you just invited the ghost of a pissed-off librarian to haunt your house *or* if you invited Beelzebub to possess your body and feast on your soul.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">That’s why exorcisms of the Zozo entity don’t work. Victims of Zozo are actually being tormented by multiple demons who are using the name as an alias. Legitimate exorcisms that are conducted by the clergy of the Catholic church take weeks, months, or even years before the name of the demon is forced from the unwilling adversary. Many oppressions/possessions pit the exorcist against a number of demonic foes. With a Zozo attachment, this proves even worse than usual.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If the person has only the beginnings of an attachment to Zozo, then you just sever the person’s use of the name. Don’t say Zozo anymore or acknowledge it. But if a person has an actual attachment (a demonic infestation, oppression, or possession) then they have to discover the name of the actual demon attacking them and sever their attachment to the name of Zozo and the board. Only then can they have a clearing or deliverance done.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cqpPZ0jDHWw/XVeFsbjPpUI/AAAAAAAAB_Y/JqICp4L_ZNE6RQbDrmixJk7sJrTes1ngwCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/dictionnaire_infernal_illustration1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="252" data-original-width="367" height="219" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cqpPZ0jDHWw/XVeFsbjPpUI/AAAAAAAAB_Y/JqICp4L_ZNE6RQbDrmixJk7sJrTes1ngwCPcBGAYYCw/s320/dictionnaire_infernal_illustration1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: inherit;">And that exorcism needs to be performed by<b><i> a legitimate member of the clergy </i></b>and not someone who started his own "church", maybe claiming it was an Old Catholic church that broke away from the Vatican because they disagreed with the canon of Papal infallibility in something called the Utrecht schism.&nbsp; Yes, there are legitimate Old Catholic churches out there that did follow the bishop of Utrecht, but those churches have actual congregations.&nbsp;</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cqpPZ0jDHWw/XVeFsbjPpUI/AAAAAAAAB_Y/JqICp4L_ZNE6RQbDrmixJk7sJrTes1ngwCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/dictionnaire_infernal_illustration1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="252" data-original-width="367" height="219" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cqpPZ0jDHWw/XVeFsbjPpUI/AAAAAAAAB_Y/JqICp4L_ZNE6RQbDrmixJk7sJrTes1ngwCPcBGAYYCw/s320/dictionnaire_infernal_illustration1.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Most of the paranormal clergy advertising their services online aren't legitimately Old Catholic. Their entire church consists of several bishops under the dominion of a self-proclaimed archbishop and a deacon or two. No congregations. No physical churches. No&nbsp;<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">parishioners despite naming these bishops as the head of parishes. Best way to tell is easy: Google maps. Put in their physical address and look up the location on street view. If it comes up as an apartment building, a house, a strip mall, or a church that's a completely different denomination? It's not a real church and therefore the archbishops and bishops and deacons aren't legitimate clergy.&nbsp;</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Did I mention the next article I do is about paranormal parasites like these?

The best and easiest way to not have to deal with Zozo is not to go looking. Regardless of how it's marketed, the Ouija board is not a game. It's a form of conjuration, and opens the door to any kind of interaction with the spiritual world imaginable. But you can't trust what any entity says on the talking board. Not a word, and especially if that entity self-identifies as Zozo.&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">By communicating with Zozo, you have invited the diabolical into your life. Once that door is open, it's almost impossible to close--and then I'll get an email or a phone call from a paranormal group trying to help you but that can't. That's the end result of most Zozo-created infestations, and unless there's a legitimate exorcist involved there's no way to know what demonic entities have come through that board.&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">So yeah.&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME.</span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME.<br /><br />AND DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></div></div><script src="https://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">_uacct = "UA-1679002-1"; urchinTracker(); </script>Celina Summershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08581883122727085849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26892817.post-29137711184521329332019-08-17T01:48:00.000-04:002019-08-17T23:59:47.494-04:00Everything You Wanted To Know About Zozo...Plus A Lot Of Things You Wish You Didn't Part One<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Zozo demon is commonly referred to as "the Ouija Board demon". Because of some paranormal groups' preference for using a Ouija board on investigations, Zozo has been a frequent...and frightening...guest on many videos. But who--or what--is Zozo, exactly? The historic and arcane history of the entity is fairly difficult to track and impossible to document. That is, until the internet's explosion in the late 2000s and early 2010s.&nbsp;</span><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But what's really terrifying is how impossible the entity is to combat. If Zozo is taken at face value, it's a demonic entity that can't be fought using the tools and methods that have expunged the demonic since Christ exorcised demons and sent them into the bodies of pigs. Two millennia of demonic warfare doesn't get rid of Zozo, and we want to know why.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In this two-part article, we'll break down the roots and history of the so-called "Ouija Board Demon", its growing visibility in modern society, what the diabolical agent seems to really be, and why exorcisms do not and cannot work. That's why my usual warning regarding the diabolical is appearing twice. TRYING TO CONTACT ZOZO IF YOU AREN'T A PROFESSIONAL RESEARCHER/INVESTIGATOR IS THE SPIRITUAL EQUIVALENT OF PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE. Do NOT try any of this at home.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 4;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">History Of Zozo</span><o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IladDTE3xzM/XVeFsPcAvEI/AAAAAAAAB_A/6u6MZIMYJsIM8hryFk6fGWD19j2ztsyFwCLcBGAs/s1600/962JeffDorchen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="909" data-original-width="800" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IladDTE3xzM/XVeFsPcAvEI/AAAAAAAAB_A/6u6MZIMYJsIM8hryFk6fGWD19j2ztsyFwCLcBGAs/s200/962JeffDorchen.jpg" width="175" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The first mention of any entity named Zozo occurred in an 1818 reference guide written by Jacques Collin de Plancy, a self-proclaimed occultist and author, in his&nbsp;<a href="http://occultcenter.com/2010/12/1863-dictionnaire-infernal-pdf-full-illustrations/"><i><span style="color: blue;">Dictionnaire Infernal</span></i></a>. The story as related in the<i>&nbsp;Dictionnaire’s</i>&nbsp;entry under the word&nbsp;<i>POSSÉDÉS</i>&nbsp;(Possession, in English) goes as follows:<o:p></o:p></span></div><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 5pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In 1816, an unmarried girl from a town called Teilly in the Picardy region of France found out she was pregnant. She promptly announced that she was possessed by three “imps”—one named Mimi, one named Crapoulet, and the third Zozo. The girl would walk around the town on all fours or on her hands, and acted as if she was possessed. A Jesuit priest from Spain performed an exorcism on the girl, which was described in the text: &nbsp;Mimi went quietly; Zozo was more tenacious and broke a window of the church when he tried to escape through the roof. As for Crapoulet, he was pursued in vain, even with the blessed tool (I think this tool is a holy item such as an aspergillum) he could not be removed, and eventually took a position in the genitals of the girl, only leaving at the Jesuit’s insistence. Eventually, the town leaders put the pregnant girl in the hospital and the Jesuit was told that if he did any more exorcisms, he’d be arrested as a fraud.</span></blockquote><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Nineteenth century France in the wake of the revolution and the ascendance of Napoleon, prided itself on its science and logic and fought against old “superstitions” like exorcism or demonic possession.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">That being said, this incident is related in a book written by an author with no particular expertise in research and there’s no way to verify anything he wrote in that book either. In fact, Collin du Plancy was nothing more than a pulp fiction writer, capitalizing on the rise of the spiritual movement to sell more books. And it worked!

I was in the process of writing <i>Stalked by the Zozo Demon</i> with LSF founder Tim Wood and hadn't found even a whisper of a demon named Zozo despite having conducted (and still conducting) years of research regarding medieval demonology and the history of the Inquisition and the witchcraft trials. Fortunately, my background in Latin and Greek, not to mention being brought up in my French mother's bilingual home and therefore able to read/translate French put me in a great position to see what such a manuscript said.

That's why I'm a researcher--I know how to research things. Right? Instead of being provided a medieval manuscript or a link to a scan of it (because obviously, a 700-year old manuscript would require expensive protective storage and restoration), however, I found a story which I find fascinating.

Zoso is a sigil, an illustration used to represent the Greco-Roman god Saturn who governs the house of Capricorn in the zodiac--essentially a drawing that can be used as a magical implement. It allegedly possesses arcane power. That's why self-confessed Thelemist Jimmy Page used the sigil on Led Zeppelin’s unnamed fourth album—because he’s a Capricorn, not because there is a demon named Zozo.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">&nbsp;</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The earliest verified use I've found of the Zoso sigil is the 1521 (some references list the publication date as 1511, making the 1521 book a second edition) grimoire entitled <i>Le Veritable Dragon Rouge--</i>a book about necromancy that you can download if you really want to.&nbsp;<span style="font-family: inherit;">The f</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fefefe; text-indent: 0.5in;">irst well-documented use of the sigil appears in Gerolamo Cardano’s 1557 book </span><i style="text-indent: 0.5in;">Ars Magica Arteficii, </i><span style="background-color: #fefefe; text-indent: 0.5in;">which translates roughly to “The Art of Magic” or “The Magical Arts”.

The sigil was used in astrology because most people couldn’t read. Most likely, this gentleman researched the sigil after seeing it on the Led Zeppelin album sleeve, found a link online for the sigil, and without comprehending what that actually meant assumed this was a direct reference to the entity.

Enjoy it--except for Chip Coffey, who now hates me. Read on for why...it's hilarious. But make no mistake: the rest of this post is decidedly not funny, as you'll soon see for yourself.)</i><br /><br />So you guys know I'm normally keeping myself pretty busy, and especially at this time of year. 2019 was originally supposed to be a leisurely writing year with a light publication schedule, but that has changed thanks to some stuff I can't announce yet. (Darn NDAs) So because I just cannot be too busy, this story is one I need to update, including new information we've learned that makes everything clearer.<br /><br />And scarier.<br /><div><br /></div><div>I spent October of 2015<a href="http://kaantira.blogspot.com/2015/11/lets-talk-about-paranormal-shows-and-tv.html" target="_blank">&nbsp;shredding the abysmal A&amp;E television show&nbsp;<i>Cursed: The Bell Witch</i>&nbsp;and the absolutely execrable Destination America&nbsp;<i>Exorcist Live!</i></a>&nbsp;and putting together my blog series&nbsp;<i>The Real Bell Witch,&nbsp;</i>all of which you can see by going to the Paranormal, Bell Witch, and Zozo page tab at the top of the blog. I should probably mention here that because of me trashing&nbsp;<i>Exorcist Live!</i>&nbsp;I was blocked on Twitter by Chip Coffey, who must have psychically found my blog and gotten offended at the way I felt about his contributions to this said show. It's actually pretty damn funny when you think about it--I didn't follow him. Heck, I didn't really care enough to even check. Then a couple of years later someone directed me to a Tweet of his but I couldn't see it because I'd been blocked!<br /><br />I had no idea a psychic needed Twitter.&nbsp;After all, shouldn't everything on their feed be old news? Shouldn't they have heebie-jeebied and known everything on their feed.<br /><br />But I digress.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sYmSuaN3p_4/Wcc3xPIwCsI/AAAAAAAABeM/BZFb3be-xlcNohX45XkPAeoJMwqrZ3dSwCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/stalkedbythezozodemon-1800.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sYmSuaN3p_4/Wcc3xPIwCsI/AAAAAAAABeM/BZFb3be-xlcNohX45XkPAeoJMwqrZ3dSwCPcBGAYYCw/s320/stalkedbythezozodemon-1800.jpg" width="213" /></a>I'd been working with Tim Wood out at LiveSciFi on a series of articles about an investigation they did in Oklahoma City--an investigation into an entity known as Zozo or the Ouija board demon. If you've never heard of that name, do a quick Google search. In 2016, you would have turned up over 34 million results. 289,000 of those results were YouTube videos. And Tim was&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT_FWaZuqgw5QOjqtgsoTxw?spfreload=5" target="_blank">the king of the paranormal on YouTube</a>&nbsp;with over 400,000 subscribers and 68 million views--and counting.<br /><br />Now in 2019, those stats have all increased: 37 million results for Zozo on Google, 367,000 YouTube videos. Tim Wood's LSF channel now has over half a million subscribers and 90 million views. The weekend of the 2016 post, LSF was working with a guest investigator, Darren Evans, for a huge live stream collaboration.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Let's link everything up real quick so that&nbsp;<a href="http://livescifi.tv/2016/10/zozo-demon-who-what-ouija-demon/" target="_blank">you can go see my 2015 articles</a>, the&nbsp;<a href="http://blogcritics.org/exclusive-interview-tim-wood-darren-evans-on-upcoming-live-stream-of-zozo-paranormal-investigation/" target="_blank">Blogcritics interview</a>, and the&nbsp;<a href="http://livescifi.tv/" target="_blank">LiveSciFi site</a>.<br /><br />Tim and I subsequently conducted an experiment in 2017 where we tried to learn more about the entity. Tim contacted Zozo on the Ouija board every night for a month, while I stood as the control of the experiment. We live-streamed every video, documenting all the activity in front of the LiveSciFi audience. We collaborated on different things to try so we could arrive at a conclusion of what Zozo really was, and the evidence we got was actually pretty staggering.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=stalked+by+the+zozo+demon&amp;crid=2YVVVK20IL414&amp;sprefix=stalked+by+the+z%2Cundefined%2C164&amp;ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_16" target="_blank">We subsequently co-wrote a book about our findings</a>.&nbsp;<i>Stalked by the Zozo Demon</i>&nbsp;came out two months later, was a bestseller in paranormal non-fiction, and is available now on Amazon and other online e-tailers.

Won't be too much longer before I announce a couple of things that will encompass all that information. For that, you'll have to stay tuned. But this is my blog, so here I get to tell you about some of the crap that's gone on since Tim and I started researching the diabolical four years ago. We're still conducting that research--hell, the night we dissected a voodoo doll (video to the immediate right--&gt; ) was the direct result of that research, and one of the creepiest paranormal objects I've ever seen by the way. (The woman who made that voodoo doll was consumed by hatred and rage that was seething through every stitch and ripple of fabric in the damn thing. That artifact is without a doubt the worst cursed/haunted object I've ever investigated.) But all this research also leads me to a story I've hinted about, but never told before the book came out.<br /><br />My first encounter or battle against the diabolical. It's your lucky day.<br /><br />In 2015, when I was interviewing Tim Wood and Darren Evans prior to the Zozo investigation,&nbsp; I noticed several odd similarities in Tim and Darren's stories. Not the 'they talked ahead of time' similarities, but elements that popped up in their individual experiences with the demonic that had also popped up, frighteningly, in my own. &nbsp;One of the articles I did,&nbsp;<a href="http://livescifi.tv/2016/10/ouija-board-demon-zozo-connecting-dots/" target="_blank">Ouija Board Demon Zozo--Connecting The Dots&nbsp;</a>outlined those similarities. What I neglected to include in the story was how I shared many of those characteristics with the two investigators, and those events stemmed from my adolescence and two hauntings. One of those hauntings, of course, was the Bell Witch case in Adams, TN. You guys have heard all about my opinions and experiences with that right here on this blog (or you <i>could</i> hear about them if you click on the Bell Witch, Paranormal and Zozo tab). The other was the demonic oppression of a friend of mine in college--an oppression that manifested in activity right before my eyes that I absolutely could not explain. Seems appropriate to tell that story now. All the names, naturally, have been changed, and bear with me: by the end of this post, it'll all make sense.</div><div><br /></div><div>My friend's oppression began after the death of his younger brother in a mysterious car wreck. The brother had been involved in a high school "coven" with nine friends. Of those ten kids, eight died: four in the same car accident, two by suicide, one murdered, and the last of some totally bizarre infection. I have no idea what happened to the other two. After his brother's funeral, the entity hopped to my friend, Jeno.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Jeno was a smart, good-looking guy--football player, math whiz, popular kid with an infectious grin and a sweet personality. We attended the same college but I'd known him since high school, when he'd been in the same class I was. His family was Mormon and in every aspect he was just a normal, happy guy. But after his younger brother's death, everything suddenly went wrong. He literally started to almost wither into nothingness. Within a month, he looked gaunt and uptight. We shared a mutual friend--a guy named Rob and we would hang out some nights. We usually would go to this bizarre park in the middle of town, down this crazy steep hill and tucked away under the big railroad trestle that loomed hundreds of feet over our heads. That park was basically some fifty year old swings and a parking lot, but behind that were a few trails and a creek. We liked it there. People rarely went there during the day, much less the night, so we could hang out there and act like idiots or talk about our lives and no one ever disturbed us.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>On one of those nights during the fall of my sophomore year in college, we went to that park. It was September, and still warm but despite that, Jeno was wearing a turtleneck sweater. And as we sat in our usual spot in a clearing tucked out of sight of the road, Jeno told us what was happening to make him look so gaunt and stressed out.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>His house was haunted, he said, since his brother's death a few months earlier. He would wake up in the middle of the night, fighting with an unseen force pummeling him in the bed. Things would fly off his wall. Drawers would open and crash against the wall on the opposite side of the room. Strange shouts, bangs, and terrible smells would emanate from his younger brother's closed and unused bedroom.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-is2cUy6EFVs/WAfIj4kQUSI/AAAAAAAAAqA/rFdb3XHgtsQgEjwOd1iXNLJKE5CqzD3EQCLcB/s1600/TNADAbellwitch_krist2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-is2cUy6EFVs/WAfIj4kQUSI/AAAAAAAAAqA/rFdb3XHgtsQgEjwOd1iXNLJKE5CqzD3EQCLcB/s320/TNADAbellwitch_krist2.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">I was fresh off my first investigation of the Bell Witch Cave and the Edens farm, where I'd experienced things much like what Jeno was talking about. In fact, I'd stood outside on the front porch of Bimms Eden's empty house and listened as the living room furniture was rearranged--things that neither Rob nor Jeno knew about. So I was able to take Jeno's story at face value.</div><br />But what I didn't expect was the condition of his body.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>The first time he lifted his shirt and showed the massive bruising on his torso, I was startled--and I couldn't help but be slightly skeptical as well. What I couldn't figure out was a trio of scratches that started on the right side of his neck and continued in an unbroken, continuous diagonal across his chest and finally terminated on his left hip. It was like someone had taken one of those little three-pronged gardening forks down his body, but the cuts were too deep and sharp-edged for that. They had scabbed over, and even the scabs were precise and identical.</div><div><br /></div><div>For a few days after, I tried to figure out if there was some way to do that to oneself. It was so weird because the scratches were the same depth, the same width, and completely seamless. On top of that, Jeno was right-handed. There was no way he could have done that to himself with such perfect symmetry. But I didn't say anything to him about it at the time. When you're eighteen and a good-looking guy is telling you he's being attacked by a ghost his dead brother's coven conjured up, you figure it's probably not a good idea to interrogate him but just to act as if you totally buy into his story and be supportive of him that way. After all, he had just lost his brother. It only made sense to me that he would be have trouble dealing with his death.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>A few weeks later, we were hanging out in the same park. It was October--my birthday weekend, in fact--and it was one of those perfect, crisp autumn evenings you get in Tennessee when the season is changing. We weren't even talking about the haunting at the time; we were planning a road trip as I recollect. Jeno didn't drink, I couldn't drink, and Rob...was Rob. He was drinking, mean thing that he was. At any rate, we were laughing when all of a sudden Jeno screamed and fell backwards, landing basically on my lap. Instinctively, I grabbed his shoulders and his body was so hot (temperature) that I could feel the heat baking through his jacket and sweater.</div><div><br /></div><div>The next thing I knew, three burns came up on the side of his throat. Each burn was as wide as my thumb and almost instantly blistered. Rob pulled off Jeno's shirt and those burns followed the exact same path as the scratches had.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I <i>saw</i> those burns pop up. If you're a woman and have ever burned the side of your neck with a curling iron, that's exactly what it looked like. Except Jeno was six feet tall and those burns crossed his body like a sash and disappeared into the waistband of his jeans while he was wearing a thick cable-knit sweater and a Member's Only jacket. (dated myself there) And these weren't surface burns either; they were second degree burns. We took him to the ER--I don't even remember the BS story we told to try to spin the whole mess. That night after he was released, we took him back to Rob's place, figuring he might be able to rest there. Jeno pretty much passed out as soon as we tucked him up on the couch, exhausted as he was and full of pain meds, while Rob and I sat across the room trying to figure out what in the hell we'd just seen.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I had been at the <a href="http://kaantira.blogspot.com/2015/10/the-real-bell-witch-legend-what-real.html" target="_blank">Bell Witch cave just a few days before</a>, and had gotten several EVPs (my first ones, actually) before the cave suddenly went spook-monster on me and drove me out. So I was already a tad...jumpy and Rob knew this. But as we sat there trying to rationalize what had happened, the light bulb in the hanging lamp over his kitchen table exploded...like--legitimately exploded, glass shattering, sparks in the wiring, sounding like a pop gun kind of exploded.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Rob and I just stared at each other over all that glass, and Jeno said suddenly from the couch, "It followed me here."&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>My first thought at the moment was uncharitable to say the least.&nbsp;<i>Thank you so fucking much for bringing your pet ghost, Jeno&nbsp;</i>isn't the best retort in such a moment. But Jeno's voice was terrified and quiet all at the same time, and it made such an impact on me that I couldn't say a word. Rob, bless him, instantly popped up with, "Man, we need to take you to a church."&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>That's when Jeno told us that the Mormon church in town had excommunicated him. He'd gone to them for help when all the manifestations began&nbsp;<i>before</i>&nbsp;his brother's death, and they had kicked him out of the church!&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Rob and I were both raised Catholic--Rob's mother was Spanish; mine was French--and we figured that if anyone would help Jeno, it would be the parish priest. So we loaded &nbsp;Jeno into the back seat of my Bug (yes, I was a vintage VW kind of punk girl back in the day--a 1972 Superbeetle, Tennessee orange of course) and took him to the rectory next to the church both our families attended. Our parish priest was an awesome guy--a chain-smoking, Scotch-drinking, honest-to-God Irish lean whip of a man who had baptized, christened, and First Communion-ed me. The drive lasted maybe five minutes, and it was the longest five minutes of my life. After what we'd already seen that night, and the knowledge of how Jeno's brother had died, a VW Bug didn't seem like the safest place in the world to be. On top of that, it was three o'clock in the morning, and we were going to wake up a priest.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>It's a testament to who our priest was both as a man and a religious that we didn't even hesitate about going to him. This was the same priest I argued reproductive rights with, the same one who always told his congregation that if they were in spiritual trouble to come to him. Rob and I figured this would qualify, and all we wanted to do was to get Jeno to someone who knew what to do.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>The rectory was a sold-looking Victorian building. Rob, who was quite a bit smaller than Jeno, was literally hauling him up the front porch steps while I banged on the door and rang the doorbell. The porch light snapped on and our priest peered out then he opened the door. He took one look at the three of us (we probably looked like we were crazy) and immediately let us all into the house.</div><div><br /></div><div>And what happened from that point on is something I don't talk about. I can't. We went through months of serious terror. There were further occasions when Jeno was attacked in front of me--the worst happened one night after he'd been kicked out of his parents' home and was living in a small apartment right off-campus. Jeno had two couches in his shabby living room. I was asleep on one and he was on the other when suddenly he&nbsp;<i>screamed.&nbsp;</i>I jumped up like a scalded cat and he was fighting for his life against something that was only visible because it was under the blanket with him, like some huge freaking guy had crept up on that couch with him and crawled under the quilt to strangle him. I hauled Jeno off the couch into the floor, the blanket went flat, and the attack stopped.<br /><br />We sat up the rest of the night in the floor with every light in the house on and my rosary beads around his neck.<br /><br />But there was nothing else I could do. I couldn't help him and organized religion wouldn't (at the time). The response of both the Mormon and Catholic Churches to Jeno's situation made me angry--angry enough to forego religion for a long, long time. Exorcisms were not something the Catholic church approved or even talked about openly at the time. Although our priest prayed with Jeno, blessed him, and conducted minor rites in the hope that something would alleviate his suffering he was told by his superiors to stop.<br /><br />Father protested on Jeno's behalf (and also for Rob and me, since we were now getting peripheral notice from the entity), but the diocese was emphatic. The Catholic church rarely approved exorcisms, there was no exorcist in the diocese, and the bishop flat refused to sanction anything remotely resembling an exorcism for a non-Catholic. Probably as a result of his protests, our priest was moved to another parish within six months. &nbsp;But before he left, he told me that it was dangerous to spend so much time with Jeno trying to help him and told Rob the same thing. Being know-it-all twenty-somethings, we ignored him.<br /><br />Unfortunately, Rob told Jeno what the priest had said. Six weeks after that, Jeno left town and I have never heard from him again.</div><div><br /></div><div><br />All that is history. Let's talk about the present, as in what has happened from 2015 to 2019 and specifically for Tim and me.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/B7CAaEOrsAo/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/B7CAaEOrsAo?feature=player_embedded" style="clear: left; float: left;" width="320"></iframe>After I began to research and write the articles surrounding the 2015 investigation of the Zozo house, I was getting poked paranormally in my house. The notes I took that night and Darren's phone number mysteriously disappeared from my computer, even though I had saved my work (being a writer makes you autosave-suspicious) and turned off the computer that night. A pair of lights in my living room blew within three minutes of each other. One lamp fell from the end table for no reason--I watched it fall and there wasn't a cat near it or under it. My mother's rosary beads disappeared from my closed jewelry box in the bedroom. (I later found it under the living room couch.) &nbsp;Had a few random bangs on the front door and one from inside the linen closet in the hallway. (I live in a century-old house). I spent three days looking at the TV or computer screen with one hand over my eye due to an almost incapacitating migraine that wouldn't respond to any kind of migraine medicines. Despite all this, I managed to get four articles and three press releases done on top of my normal, everyday workload.<br /><br />The Zozo experiment exacerbated everything exponentially. As the month went on, Tim and I both began having parallel paranormal experiences including nightmares, poltergeist activity, shadow figures in our non-haunted homes, and extreme emotional swings. Lightning struck my house when I was interviewing I ended up quadruple-saving the rough draft of the book and my notes because they kept disappearing from my computer. We did several investigations together after the experiment, and no matter where we went, the demonic pursued us. I ended up taking a break from investigations for a while, and gradually the activity on my end slowed and stopped.<br /><br />This year, Tim and I started investigating and working together again. The last trip we took we were deliberately looking to contact the Zozo entity, and once again Tim and I began to experience parallel activity. That started up in the two weeks prior to the investigation and has not only continued but increased and intensified. Eventually, once I can announce the super secret big projects we're working on, all of you will be able to hear the rest of that story. Shouldn't be too long.<br /><br />Here's the thing. I know there are no coincidences when it comes to paranormal activity. For two hundred years, authors working on the Bell Witch story have reported losing their entire manuscripts. I know a writer who lost his entire book--back when writing a book required a typewriter and lots of Liquid Paper. The physical manuscript just disappeared from inside his locked desk drawer. Film crews would find their equipment malfunctioning inside the Bell Witch cave or the landing outside it--but it all worked perfectly on top of the cliff. This happened famously during the late 1980s when the show Unsolved Mysteries tried to film there. Also, when you're writing about the Bell Witch your source materials and research--particularly the Ingram book--disappear. So I know the history involved with writing about paranormal entities and resultant paranormal activity that interferes with that.<br /><br />For the same thing to happen here makes me suspicious.</div><div><br />In an era when demonic attacks are perceived to be on the rise, when the Catholic church is suddenly embracing the rite of exorcism in order to meet the rising need to help victims of demonic oppression and possession, when non-Catholic "exorcists" are working openly with paranormal investigators who are looking into demonic hauntings you have to stop and think: is there some reason the diabolical forces are increasing? It's kind of a chicken or the egg sort of dilemma. Is the increased interest in the paranormal the reason we are hearing more about demons or demonic hauntings? Or are demons becoming more openly prevalent and that's why there are more paranormal investigations?<br /><br />Make no mistake, any time an investigator like Tim or a researcher like me starts to poke at demonic entities, it's playing with fire. People who understand the dangers of this type of paranormal research also understand the need for protecting themselves as they proceed. But sometimes, depending on the entity, that protection isn't enough...or fails. Even the most experienced paranormal investigator can sometimes end up with an attachment or worse. And if multiple people on the same team end up with parallel activity--and especially if they don't live in the same place like Tim and me--that's a huge red flag. At that point, whatever methods of self-protection they employ have been compromised, leaving the investigators open to worse and increasing activity.<br /><br />I knew when I first wrote this blog post that because we were investigating Zozo, an entity that has Ouija-bombed and stalked Tim for years, there would be paranormal consequences. That didn't surprise me. What <i>did</i> surprise me was how quick and how severe those consequences were. They had far-reaching effects on everyone involved.<br /><br />Make no mistake: paranormal investigation is NOT a game. It's dangerous to everyone involved. So getting a cheap voice recorder and running around a deserted haunted house at night or "playing" with a Ouija board isn't some kind of cheap thrill. It's potentially deadly, and these cautionary tales shouldn't be ignored or dismissed. Leave it to the experts, because even the experts in the paranormal field know that this type of investigation weighs heavily in favor of the demonic, not the investigators.<br /><br />Hopefully after this, you'll know that too. Stay tuned, folks. This ride is getting to be VERY bumpy. Oh, and if you want to learn more about Tim and his experiences with the Zozo entity, watch that last video I posted. You'll learn a lot.<br /><br />Particularly why you don't want to get any closer to that entity than reading about it in a blog.<br /><br /><i>Author's note: I had just finished typing the line directly above this one when the ceiling in my office/spare bedroom suddenly collapsed. I was hit with plaster and insulation, and the guest bedroom which I had just finished renovating was pretty much destroyed. The collapse barely missed taking out all the electronics--tv, desktop, laptop, Nintendo Switch--but managed to destroy the overhead light. So allow me to reiterate one more time: dealing with the diabolical is not a game, is not "fun", is not an adrenaline rush. It's dangerous on multiple levels.</i><br /><i><br /></i><i>Once the diabolical knows your name, it never forgets it.

Until then, you can take a look at Dominic on his first book cover just for fun), two non-fiction titles, multiple ghost writing projects, and editing. I couldn't do a lot of sports blogging like I usually do on this blog, or write many columns for the Orange &amp; White Report. Both of those circumstances will be changing in 2019, which is currently a "light" year for me with five fiction titles and two more non-fiction projects in the works.&nbsp;</span><script src="https://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">_uacct = "UA-1679002-1"; urchinTracker(); </script></span><br /><div><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">But that doesn't keep me from paying attention to what's going on.&nbsp;</span></div><div><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">2018 was a tough year in sports. Aside from the continuing inactivity in sexual assault and abuses in programs like Baylor and Michigan State (the conviction and indictment of Larry Nasser, the physician/rapist in East Lansing was a brief high point for the judicial system and an ongoing disaster for the NCAA), other egregious nightmares were exposed. The death of 19-year old University of Maryland football player, Jordan McNair, was <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2018/10/25/report-maryland-football-culture-cites-problems-stops-short-toxic-label/?noredirect=on&amp;utm_term=.1ae1da538aa3">directly attributed to abusive coaching practices under former HFC DJ Durkin.</a>&nbsp;What was great to see was that Maryland actually investigated the program; what was absolutely unbelievable was that they reinstated Durkin as head coach. The fan and backlash was so virulent that they fired him the day after they put him back in charge of the team.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">Another tone-deaf administration undone by the anger of an educated fan base.&nbsp;</span></div><div><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">Then, just twenty minutes up the road from where I'm writing this in the middle of the night, Urban Meyer's long-predicted and oft-expected end-of-the-road scandal reared its ugly head like a 17-year cicada. The former wife of OSU assistant Zach Smith revealed that not only did her husband abuse her physically and mentally, but that Meyer knew about the abuse for a decade and&nbsp; had still retained Smith on his staff, giving him annual raises and promotions. That coaching relationship between Meyer and Smith had its roots in the dog-dirty Florida football program that generated the likes of murderer Aaron Hernandez. During his occupation of the Swamp, Meyer saw thirty-one of his players get arrested between 2005 and 2010. You'd think he would have taken away something constructive from the fiasco that accompanied his exit from Florida.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">You'd think he would have learned that the quickest way to destroy a coach's legacy is to look the other way at criminal activity.&nbsp;</span></div><div><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">But no. Zach Smith proved to be the rocks on which Urban Meyer's ship foundered, and while the embattled coach backslid into the same "health issues" smokescreen he'd used to exit Gainesville, stepping down at the end of the 2018-19 season with his reputation once more in tatters.&nbsp;</span><br /><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-owjwKkLEgWg/XDMtskGrilI/AAAAAAAABms/stmRwVwT-aY8eh2T-PMdM1gabjehMHYkACLcBGAs/s1600/empowered-fb-banner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="315" data-original-width="925" height="217" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-owjwKkLEgWg/XDMtskGrilI/AAAAAAAABms/stmRwVwT-aY8eh2T-PMdM1gabjehMHYkACLcBGAs/s640/empowered-fb-banner.jpg" width="640" /></a><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">And then, of course, new information was brought to light regarding the former head football coach at Tennessee, Butch Jones, in a book that has my name on the front cover. During the course of the months co-author Tom Mattingly and I devoted to research and dozens of interviews, we unearthed a slew of nasty stories about the abusive atmosphere Jones created--the abuse of players, the withholding of transcripts so players couldn't transfer, the reason for the staggering number of injuries the Vols suffered every year, the micromanagement that turned into a totalitarian regime, and the interference in medical protocols that resulted in players having untreated injuries once their playing days on Rocky Top were done.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">In all these cases, a common denominator existed that tie the universities together. 2018 was the year of the fan, and make no mistake--that's not always a compliment.&nbsp;</span></div><div><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">Anytime you've got someone in the media that breaks a big story, there's going to be a lot of backlash. As a writer, you try to prepare for that. I certainly tried to steel myself before <i>Empowered</i> was released, and I know that an experienced journalist like Brett McMurphy (who broke the Zach Smith case) almost certainly did as well. But in the sports world, there's really no way to prepare yourself for the ignorant fan or the belligerent fan or the stupid enough to call Paul Finebaum's nationally syndicated show and brag about poisoning the famous oaks at Toomer's Corner because Auburn beat Alabama that year Harvey Updike sort of fan.&nbsp;</span></div><div><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new

Usually, we all believe the asshat fan is at that OTHER school or rooting for that OTHER divisional team. It's much more difficult to accept that your university is just as guilty of asshat fans as every other university is.

But many Ohio State fans were more concerned about the threat of losing their national championship winning coach.

But those same fans were saying something completely different when they started their protest (a very amateurish copy of what happens when Vol Nation decides to take a stand on something, by the way). They were declaring to the world that domestic violence was less important to them than winning football games. They knew that Urban Meyer was the key to getting back into the College Football Payoffs--oops. Sorry. I meant PLAYOFFS of course--and they were unwilling to sacrifice him . So they sacrificed Courtney Smith, her children, and her safety instead.</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #222222; font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">This has nothing to do with our ex-wide receiver coach, or the accusations against him, with his ex-wife.

I wasn't terrified about that. In fact, I was kind of hoping<i> they</i> were right. (I'm married to one of <i>them</i>, by the way, and it's hard to gloat too much about Urban screwing up yet again when one of <i>them</i> is snoring on the other side of the bed.) And while the season didn't implode per se, the disaster that struck the Buckeyes when they were blown out by Pursue enabled me to gloat just a little.&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">I can't wait for Urban's health issues to miraculously resolve in time for him to head to another coaching destination so he can screw up their school in five years or so because that would get his scurvy carcass out of the state where I live.&nbsp;</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J_QTfH2Kc9I/XDNGWhhabPI/AAAAAAAABnM/mn2fWFG8rFwjY4ABwfQHTGPsIdzUZw_QgCLcBGAs/s1600/asshat.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="549" data-original-width="413" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J_QTfH2Kc9I/XDNGWhhabPI/AAAAAAAABnM/mn2fWFG8rFwjY4ABwfQHTGPsIdzUZw_QgCLcBGAs/s320/asshat.png" width="240" /></a></span></div><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">See? See how easy it is to devolve into asshattery? While fans from any other university wouldn't consider what I just wrote as asshat enough to be worthy of the asshat fan designation, folks who love Ohio State certainly would. We all are just as protective of our school's reputation as we are proud of their prowess on the field. To any other school, Tennessee's five and seven season in 2018-19 shouldn't create any kind of positive outlook for the program's future. But Vols fans <i>do</i> have something to be proud of: two of those five wins were against ranked SEC opponents, both of whom went to bowl games and both of whom won their bowls--Auburn, dominating the hapless Purdue (who beat OSU by twenty and ruined their playoff dreams) and Kentucky, beating heavily favored Penn State in the Citrus Bowl.&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">So, yes. Every fan base has its asshats. But then you have the schools who habitually sit atop the football or men's basketball pyramid, and their asshattery assumes a virulent, shrill nastiness of manner that makes them universally loathed. You know who I'm talking about. Is there a school more arrogant about its men's basketball team than Kentucky? Duke, maybe. North Carolina, perhaps. UCLA has made a serious run at total asshattery, using methods that John Wooden would have never permitted. But in football, just take a moment to consider these asshattery candidates: Alabama. Oklahoma. Clemson. Notre Dame.&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">Four teams that made it into the CFB Playoffs this year.&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">I have a wide-ranging circle of friends within the comforting circle of football fandom. All of my Bama friends go out of their way to avoid being asshats, which is rather difficult considering the unquestioned mastery Nick Saban maintains over his program. When Alabama has a team that sports pundits are defining as the "best college football team ever" it's impossible for Tide fans not to talk themselves up. Here in a couple of hours, 98% of the Crimson Tide lovers online will be getting up and getting ready for work, maybe dropping an excited Tweet or two about the game tonight.&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">But here we are</span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">...four in the morning on the day of the College Football Playoffs National Championship Game, and there's a faction online right this moment basically Tweeting nonsense just so they can type the following: #RollTide.

I interviewed multiple players and staff members, three of whom went on the record. Between those three players, the entire spread of Jones' tenure in Knoxville was covered, and the escalating severity of his abuses was never addressed by the university because there wasn't consistent leadership or oversight.&nbsp;</span></div><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">There's not much difference between Jones and Maryland's DJ Durkin. Butch Jones spent the 2018-19 season as an "intern" at Alabama--an incredibly bizarre job title for a guy who'd been a head coach in the SEC just a year earlier. Saban recently brought the disgraced Maryland head coach, DJ Durkin, to Tuscaloosa as well. So I made the comment that all Saban needed was one more predatory coach and he'd have the classless trifecta.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">In pops a Bama fan, so rabid to defend Saint Saban that he accused me of making up these stories in order to exploit the Tennessee fan base and promote my book.&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">This guy was supposed to be my <i>friend.</i></span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">Needless to say, I took exception to what he said so I verbally eviscerated him and kicked him to the curb, muting him when I was done. I'm not too proud to confess that I used language I almost never employ when talking online. But yeah...I cussed that you-know-what up one side and down the other. But , you ask? Because he cast aspersions on my work, publicly accusing me of making up sh*t so I could exploit the still-nervous Tennessee fan base and make money off them. Not exactly the approach a friend should take. Never mind the interviews online that corroborated the stories I'd published. Never mind the fact that we interviewed former players and staff, parents, journalists, physicians, donors and fans.&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">Nope. I "invented" those stories as exploitative promotion tactics so I can make a fortune In and of itself, the idea that any author makes money off a book like this one is kind of ludicrous. Yes, we had an Amazon #1 Bestseller in both Football and the History of Sports genres. But we didn't start cashing six-figure checks. Believe me.</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">Fast forward twenty-four hours. Dude is still at it, cyber-stalking me to YouTube, where a video about my book and the exposure of Butch Jones's treatment of his teams had been <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udRKt-WUACw">posted by the world's favorite LSU fan, TJ LSU Dad.</a>&nbsp;Bama fan proceeded to leave a comment on the video, saying that I was a "hag" and a Finebaum "wannabe" blah blah blah.&nbsp;</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/udRKt-WUACw/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/udRKt-WUACw?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">LSU Dad doesn't go in for fake moral outrage, and as a LSU fan he doesn't have a dog in the fight. His reaction to my book and Mykelle McDaniel's filmed interview with me was exactly what I hoped a neutral party's reaction would be.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">Yeah, this bushy-tailed squirrelly lover of the Crimson Tide is a bona fide pin-headed nincompoop for thinking that calling me a "hag" was going to hurt my feelings. You see...to me any CFB fan should be proud of their programs and their coaches--not just for the wins each season on the field, but also the wins off the field.&nbsp; When the Vols run through the T each home game every season, I feel so much pride for our team and school that sometimes I tear up, especially if I'm on a rare trip back to Neyland.</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">Tonight, the University of Alabama will take the field for the national championship against Clemson, and right in their midst will be Butch Jones, the Bama "intern" who single-handedly destroyed the careers and futures of dozens of Tennessee players. That's nothing to be proud of. That's nothing to brag about. As a matter of fact, Butch Jones representing the University of Alabama in any capacity is just as egregious as Urban Meyer knowingly enabling a wife-beater throughout his career. Think about it--what does it say about Nick Saban when he's the guy who brought Jones on as a $35,000 per year staff member--carefully keeping Jones's salary well below the figure where he'd lose the $9 million of his buyout from Tennessee?</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">And what does it say that he's also poised to bring Durkin onto his staff as well?</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">No one was louder about Urban Meyer and the Zach Smith scandal than the asshats among Alabama fans. Their moral outrage when Meyer was only benched for three games was vociferous as they clutched their pearls in sheer horror. How hypocritical my latest cyber-stalker's behavior is now!&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><b>You can't scream about Zach Smith and ignore Butch Jones on your own sideline.</b></span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">I know what you're thinking, cyber-stalker. You're thinking that if roles were reversed, I would have accused you of making up bullshit for the money too. You're thinking that I would have responded worse than you did, cyber-stalking you as well.&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">Well...no, I wouldn't have.&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">Right now, UT is conducting a search for its new Offensive Coordinator. Several of the names that were brought up were names I found unacceptable for one reason or another. But one name in particular--Kendal Briles--had me writing this a couple of weeks ago in a column:</span><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br />So as fans and supporters, we have to look at the story that Tennessee is considering Kendal Briles as its new offensive coordinator and make our own determination of what we think and how this news makes us feel--not just about UT but about ourselves. Make no mistake--bringing Briles to Rocky Top will once again expose the university and the fans to the ridicule and scorn of the national media and other fan bases. Deservedly, I might add. That move would make the idea of Tennessee "morality" into a national joke.</span></blockquote><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">I was horrified, however, at how many of my fellow Tennessee fans were 100% behind the Briles hire at OC. Remember when I said that every fan base has its asshats? The University of Tennessee is no exception. We have idiots who suck up to recruits--basically "writing love letters" to them, as one of my friends sarcastically said about the worst such offender--and then, when the kid and his parents choose to sign with a different school, these grown-ass men (for the most part) suddenly nuke the recruit's social media feeds, screeching like crazy old ladies who shoot kids with BB guns if they set one toe too close to their pansies in the flower bed.&nbsp;</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ga5g-P-Ufd8/XDNGpyPSzHI/AAAAAAAABnU/vKJ8Zq5Qe04gVI1pHLNxy3AWIrVyhgQ2ACLcBGAs/s1600/asshat%2Baward.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="650" height="246" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ga5g-P-Ufd8/XDNGpyPSzHI/AAAAAAAABnU/vKJ8Zq5Qe04gVI1pHLNxy3AWIrVyhgQ2ACLcBGAs/s320/asshat%2Baward.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">Every member of Vol Twitter knows exactly which asshat I'm talking about. *waves to Sab*</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">We also, apparently, have fans for whom winning is more important than reputation or history or brand, and in places like Baylor winning is MUCH more important than the psychological, emotional, and physical health of those fifty-one rape victims or the thirty players that allegedly committed those rapes. Just like I said a minute ago: you can't revolt against the hiring of Greg Schiano on morality grounds and then welcome the architect of the "show 'em a good time" recruiting policy at Baylor, where recruits were taken to strip clubs, given alcohol, and allegedly provided with girls for sex. And just like when my cyber-stalker accused me of manufacturing the charges against Butch Jones--I discovered what had happened to dozens of Tennessee players by interviewing the victims just like the attorneys and Title IX enforcers and law enforcement discovered what was going on at Baylor by interviewing the victims.&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">Of course, seeing as my cyber-stalker hasn't actually READ the book and the stories in question, anything he has to say is automatically null and void. Bashing a book's veracity just because you <i>want</i> the stories to be untrue is one step away from burning books, or banning them, or censoring them.&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="clear: left; float: left; font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">2018. The year of the asshat fan has extended, sadly, into 2019. Here in about thirteen hours, the pageantry and hype of the last football game of the season will kick off and every football fan will be set up for four hours of the greatest sport ever existed (save for jai alai) and the subsequent drought once it's over. By this time tomorrow, every football fanatic in every fan base except for one (tonight's winner) will have their thoughts turned to next season.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">Tomorrow night, either the Clemson fans or the Alabama fans--whichever is victorious--will turn their attention to torturing every other school with gloats, boasts, brags, and for most of them a very real sense of joy at what their team has accomplished. Hidden in the depths of the winning fan base, however, are going to be the asshats whose online behavior cranks up in activity but plummets in class. They don't care that they're ruining the sport for everyone but themselves. They don't care that one day, their beloved coach is going to retire or go to the NFL or otherwise move on, and then their program will take a nosedive. That's the way that athletic success works. Winning programs move through history like a pendulum, and the bigger the swing into championship seasons, the greater the corresponding downfall of the program will be.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">As for my beady-eyed, bushy-tailed, acorn-hoarding cyber-stalker...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">You may think I'm a hag. I don't look my best at times, but by God, I'm still walking despite being advised by my surgeon that I'll end up in a wheelchair within the next few years. I refuse to let my physical deterioration interfere with my professional goals, which are ambitious. So I defy anyone to come out of the last two decades I have--the automobile accident, the chronic pain, the agonizing repercussions of multiple major spinal surgeries--and have them looking like they could still win beauty pageants. At the end of the day, I don't give a damn if you and your Loser in 'Loosa buddy think I look like a hag. I'm a fifty-two year old grandmother of seven, and as long as my damn good-looking husband, who's worked his ass off since I was disabled just to keep our heads above water, is content then I could give two craps about what a man who's too much of a coward to use his real name or his photo in his profile.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;">At least I don't brag if my name is mentioned on one page of Finebaum's last book.

Yes, this is a difficult topic to discuss. And yes, there are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to sexual assault, athletes, and the justice system. I’d imagine that quite a few people will get pretty darn mad after reading this column — either at me or the way the world works. But that’s okay by me. I’m not afraid of Twitter taunts if it brings us nearer to our ultimate goal and that’s to significantly address the sexual assault problem in this country.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="61fb"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="cca4">I knew there was one person whose insight I badly wanted to begin a conversation about rape and athletes. Brenda Tracy is an activist and sexual assault victim advocate who now travels the country meeting with college and high school programs to discuss this very issue with the players. <a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" data-href="https://www.brendatracy.com/home" href="https://www.brendatracy.com/home" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Her story of being gang raped by members of the Oregon State football team in 1998 is hard to read, but I’d advise you to check it out.</a> You may note some similarities between Brenda’s story and the stories of so many other people. Her input on this topic will be invaluable for everyone.</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="7755"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="7755">In recent years, it seems like every rape case you hear about any more deals with athletes as either the victims (Michigan State, USA gymnastics, Ohio State) or the perpetrators (Baylor, Minnesota, Florida State, Michigan State)and especially on the collegiate level. With big moneyed and storied programs like these having major conflagrations regarding sexual assault in the past few years, the time is long past when we, as a society, should have addressed this issue.</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="7bd2"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="7bd2">But in addition to these cases which have come to light, there was also the University of Tennessee case. These are the bare bones relevant facts of how the case unfurled:</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="d86e"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="d86e">In February of 2015, former UT football players AJ Johnson and Michael Williams were indicted for rape following a party the previous November during which some kind of sexual activity evidently occurred. Two days after the rape claim was filed with the Knoxville Police Department, Johnson and Williams were suspended from the team and never played another down of football for Tennessee. Almost four years passed before Johnson and Williams were brought to trial, where they were found not guilty of all charges by a jury comprised of seven women and four men.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="6fb0"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="6fb0">Now, three and a half years later in the “speedy” trial guaranteed to the defendants by the Constitution, Johnson and Williams have been acquitted. The jury deliberated for ninety minutes — <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">minutes!</em> — and came back with verdicts of not guilty on all counts when the <strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong"><em class="markup--em markup--p-em">defense didn’t call one single solitary witness to the stand. </em></strong>They didn’t need to. The defense told the court in closing arguments that the prosecution under Assistant District Attorney General Leslie Nassios had failed to prove the case against the former Tennessee football players.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="b6a4"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="b6a4">And they were right. The DA’s case was disastrous for everyone involved — alleged victims, alleged perpetrators, the District Attorney, and Nassios.</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="8706"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="8706">So stop and ask yourselves this: how is that possible? How in the name of Hades could the prosecution have proceeded with a fatally flawed case? And why would they go forward at all?&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="56c5"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="56c5">The first knee-jerk answers I saw to this question over social media this weekend were pretty universal from within Vol Nation: the accusers lied.

As much as 90% of campus rapes are unreported by the victims. That number improves to around 60% in society at large. This isn’t an issue where only women are assaulted sexually, because men are being raped as well and the numbers of those assaults are growing fast. And even if you take the <strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong"><em class="markup--em markup--p-em">highest</em> </strong>percentage of false allegations, at most you’re looking at 6%. Brenda Tracy is well aware of the spectrum of assaults beyond men raping women too:</div><blockquote class="graf graf--blockquote" name="9c61">Please note I’ve been speaking in terms of men and women, but let me be clear, Sexual violence does not discriminate. Anyone can be a victim. This is a human issue. These are crimes committed against humanity and the saddest part is its all preventable. Marginalized and vulnerable communities of people experience higher rates of assault.</blockquote><div class="graf graf--p" name="8996">After all this, I think we can all agree that the numbers not only don’t lie but are remarkably consistent. So now we need to decide logically if 94 legitimate rape victims should be ignored because of the 6 who lied about being assaulted?</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="a7b7"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="a7b7">Brenda Tracy nails this argument to the wall swiftly.</div><blockquote class="graf graf--blockquote" name="d9bf">The take away from the research is to believe survivors. And let me add that false reports for rape are no higher than false reports for other crimes. People lie. We all know this, but we only care when it comes to sexual assault. If one person lied about getting robbed society would never say ‘now we can’t believe the other 99% of people who report being robbed because of that one report.&nbsp;</blockquote><div class="graf graf--p" name="5032">That means that we, as part of the Tennessee community, need to determine why the DA’s office miscalculated a criminal case so badly that they dragged the proceedings on for almost four years? How could they have proceeded with these indictments for that long when they knew the alleged victims’ and witness testimony wasn’t going to match up with the allegations?&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="3af6"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="3af6">Defense attorneys David Eldridge and Stephen Ross Johnson — in the face of the prosecution’s lack of forensic evidence, conflicting or changed testimony from the accuser and witnesses on the stand, and the fact that both accusers deleted their social media and texts and then ditched their cell phones within a day of each other a few weeks before Johnson and Williams were indicted — put forth the opinion that the prosecution of such a flawed case was the result of a conspiracy because the accused were Tennessee football players.</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="29fb"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="29fb">Last week, that seemed like hyperbole but today that’s kind of difficult to argue against, isn’t it?</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="77fa">But, perhaps we <strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong"><em class="markup--em markup--p-em">should</em></strong> argue with that conspiracy theory. I’m not a fan of conspiracy theories or flat earthers or tin foil hats anyway, so let’s do a little more shredding of this case.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="a0bc"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="a0bc">It was just a little over two years ago that the University of Tennessee settled the Title IX case alleging a “rape culture” for such things as the kinds of sound bytes used during game and the music played by the DJ. Because…you know…Lil Jon. That case included the two accusers in Johnson and Williams’s criminal case as plaintiffs. You can read the accusers’ <a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" data-href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2708071-Lawsuit.html" href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2708071-Lawsuit.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">allegations specifically in the Title IX lawsuit here</a>, beginning on page 27.</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="d78e"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="d78e">What really struck me about Jane Doe IV’s statements included within the lawsuit at the time was a comment about “whose side they were on”, meaning the university.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="5764"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="5764">Side? Nothing could demonstrate the he said/she said nature of this case any more clearly than that statement. Now that comment seems really odd in the face of what Johnson and Williams endured and will always endure as the result of this case.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="a5bc"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="a5bc">The fact of the matter is that we will never know the full extent of what happened at the party, but we can be absolutely certain that what the women alleged in the Title IX lawsuit — for which they received significant financial remuneration from the university in 2016 — is not what they stated on the witness stand during the rape trial this week. And while the jury may not be aware of that fact, it evidently didn’t matter. The accusers destroyed the prosecution’s case all by themselves because what they’d originally alleged and what they admitted to under oath in court last week were two different things. Brenda Tracy offered this thought on the verdict:</div><blockquote class="graf graf--blockquote" name="8618">If the Tennessee case is a legitimate case of a false report then the system worked and those men were exonerated. What more as a society can we ask for than for the system to work? Does that mean any one deserves to go through that? No. Of course not, but there is nothing perfect in this world. People lie and people hurt other people. That’s why we have systems in place to prevent innocent people from going to jail. The response to this case, if it is a true false report, should be ‘good, the system worked’ not ‘all victims lie and we should disbelieve all survivors’. If the system is failing then you fix it, you don’t punish all victims of rape because a small percentage of people lie. <strong class="markup--strong markup--blockquote-strong">If innocent people are being jailed and prosecuted then you fix the system — you don’t ignore, shame, invalidate, and dismiss survivors of rape.</strong></blockquote><div class="graf graf--p" name="a88b">Bolding mine.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="6cae"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="6cae">In a society where allegations of sexual assault committed by athletes have become almost commonplace, what happened last week in Knoxville could be a massive blow to legitimate victims of rape and sexual assault. Now, whenever an athlete is accused of sexual misconduct, there’s a huge section of the athletic world that’s going to say, “She’s a liar, just like those women at Tennessee were” just like they used to say “she’s a liar, just like that woman with the Duke lacrosse team”.</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="f534"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="f534">And that’s not the case.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="4179"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="4179">See, you can’t have it both ways. You can’t accept that sexual assaults occurred at Baylor or Michigan State or Ohio State but fall back on the “she’s a liar” defense for players with teams you root for. The fact of the matter is that our society has an obligation to believe people who report being the victims of rape. For hundreds of years, the justice systems in this country and other nations have routinely used a ‘blame the victim’ defense strategy.</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="2891"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong"><br /></strong></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="2891"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">She/he was dressed provocatively.&nbsp;</strong></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="675c"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">She/he was drunk.&nbsp;</strong></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="f96d"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">She/he wanted it.&nbsp;</strong></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="3138"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">She/he is a slut.&nbsp;</strong></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="5300"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">She/he enjoyed it.&nbsp;</strong></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="615a"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="615a">That legal strategy has only one real purpose: to keep real rapists out of jail.

Yeah, I had sex with her but it was consensual because she is a slut.’</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="d75e">And it’s not like that ‘blame the victim’ mentality doesn’t go on anymore. It absolutely does, and Stanford swimmer Brock Turner’s case is a prime example. Turner found a girl passed out in a parking lot and — instead of calling 911 like a responsible citizen — decided a quickie was the right way to go. Regardless of whether you think he was guilty or not, he and his family (who coincidentally live where else but not-so-smart Ohio)launched a ‘blame the victim’ publicity and social media campaign in which they bemoaned the fact that Brock wouldn’t be able to eat steak on Fridays because of some stupid slut’s addiction to alcohol.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="c056"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="c056">Believe it or not, last week, <a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" data-href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2018/07/26/brock-turners-sexual-assault-appeal-he-intended-outercourse-not-intercourse/?noredirect=on&amp;utm_term=.5d1277e130b3" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2018/07/26/brock-turners-sexual-assault-appeal-he-intended-outercourse-not-intercourse/?noredirect=on&amp;utm_term=.5d1277e130b3" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Turner’s attorneys filed an appeal to overturn the guilty verdict and the three whole months of his six-month sentence that Turner served in jail, stating that he just wanted to have “sexual outercourse” with the victim.</a></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="8dda"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="8dda">Sexual <strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong"><em class="markup--em markup--p-em">outercourse</em></strong>?

When sexual assault happens, we don’t hear about the chess club President. We hear about the football player and the point guard. The athletes and those stories make the news. The stories we see in sports shape the attitudes and beliefs we have about victims and perpetrators — and its an ugly one mainly because society has decided that all athletes are heroes and we can’t believe our heroes would disappoint us in this way. It’s also a huge inconvenience for the sports fan. They don’t want a rape victim ruining their game. And if we believe that the athlete committed this crime then we would be obligated to do something. We would need to demand change and accountability, but it’s easier to blame the victim and place the onus on them so that we don’t have to do anything — and this way we can get back to cheering for our team and our sports hero.</blockquote><div class="graf graf--p" name="bb09">Brenda’s remark is harsh, yes, but it’s also accurate.

I was thinking about how that accusation was going to impact the football season, and how other fan bases would be dogging us online, and that just when I thought UT had reversed an ideology that made me ashamed of the athletic department in general a couple of guys got their drink on and ruined everything…</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="5cbe"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="5cbe">…or how some chick made a bad decision and decided to ruin the lives of two great athletes out of spite or greed.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="dec2"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="dec2">Yes, I went there. And so did you. Most of us in this current conversation moved on from that gut check fairly quickly. For me, the gut check came within the first hour. I was 100% okay with the university’s response to the indictments. Once the allegations went into the criminal system, UT absolutely made the right decision to suspend both players immediately — a lesson Dan Mullen and the Florida Gators need to learn, by the way.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="b56a"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="b56a">But there’s a sizable proportion of the fan base that did not move past that first reaction. A ‘blame the victim’ ideology is the fastest and cruelest knee-jerk response to any allegation made against the young men who wear Tennessee uniforms and represent every single person with a love for UT.</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="9dbe"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="9dbe">How different the Turner case ended up from the Johnson and Williamson case. There were eyewitnesses, other men who intervened and prevented Turner from doing even worse then kept him on the scene until the cops got there; the victim’s testimony never wavered; the physical trauma of Turner’s attempts at ‘sexual outercourse’ was documented properly. Turner was convicted and served 90 steakless days in jail. Johnson and Williamson were acquitted, and lost four years of their lives. If the accusers in the UT rape case did misrepresent what happened initially, we’ll never know for certain if that was intentional. We <strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong"><em class="markup--em markup--p-em">do</em></strong> know that Turner’s victim did not lie. So, it is fair for Turner’s victim to be disbelieved just because the women that accused Johnson and Williams were not believed by a jury?&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="1f25"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="1f25">Of course not.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="7b74"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="7b74">There are currently <a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" data-href="https://projects.chronicle.com/titleix/#essential_reading" href="https://projects.chronicle.com/titleix/#essential_reading" rel="noopener" target="_blank">310 open Title IX investigations </a>ongoing at US universities. That’s indicative of an epidemic, which is a problem we absolutely must address. Part of the price we pay for the enforcement of Title IX and the protection of victims of sexual assault has to be belief. We have to agree to believe without question any rape or assault allegation that arises. We owe that to the victims of sexual assault. We know the majority of rape cases are never reported. Why?&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="6a4f">Because of what Brock Turner’s accuser has had to face, including a relentless assault by the accuser and his family on her character and reputation.</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="2d37"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="2d37">If you’re looking at someone to be mad at regarding what happened to AJ Johnson and Michael Williams, the culprits are easy to find.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="422b"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="422b">Look at the court system, that dragged this case out for four years without resolution.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="bc3e"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="bc3e">Look at the DA’s office, who went ahead and prosecuted a case in which the material witnesses, the accusers, couldn’t keep their testimony consistent. \</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="f916"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="f916">Look at the attorneys who handled the Title IX lawsuit, for making sure their clients got paid despite the damage those false allegations wreaked upon AJ Johnson, Michael Williams, their futures, their prospects, and their families.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="0141"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="0141">These are the people at fault. These are the people to blame.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="b3d5"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="b3d5">For those of us who’ve watched this case from afar for four years, we need to come to a realistic understanding of the issues surrounding big time athletics. We can neither afford to disbelieve assault accusers nor rush to judgment and condemn the accused without due process. We have to understand that the university’s actions in this case are absolutely what needed to happen as well. UT’s immediate suspension of the players is precisely what the university had to do under the circumstances. Once the DA indicated that the players were being indicted for a crime, Tennessee had no other choice.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="845f"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="845f">But we also much hold the people who really profited from this fiasco responsible for their actions. I think there’s definitely reason to look at repercussions for multiple parties and especially those in the DA’s office.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="a972"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="a972">I would have to wonder as well what legal ramifications there might be for the accusers, who said one thing under oath during legal depositions in the Title IX suit and an entirely different thing under oath on the witness stand during the trial. If the difference is that extreme — which upon first glance it appears to be to a layman like myself — I would think there are avenues through the civil courts for Johnson and Williams to seek some kind of remuneration.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="d32c"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="d32c">So should there be legal and criminal ramifications for people who bring false charges of rape, domestic violence, and assault be? Well, lying under oath is perjury, which in the state of Tennessee is a Class A misdemeanor. That carries a jail sentence of 11 months and 29 days maximum and a fine up to $2500.</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="bd89"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="bd89">Maximum.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="1613"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="1613">That doesn’t seem right, does it? Not when set against four years of two young men’s lives, months of backlash against UT for the Title IX suit, tens of thousands of dollars used to prosecute the case, and two shares of the $2.48 millions UT shelled out to the Jane Does of the lawsuit. Sure, Johnson and Williams can file a civil suit against their accusers, but that’s probably not going to accomplish a lot. Not really. Perjury during a trial is rarely prosecuted, so there isn’t much of a chance that the legal system would step in. At the end of the day, four young adults walked away from the courtroom on Friday and were freed from the trauma of a four-year court case.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="7871"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="7871">But they’ll never be free of the lingering aftereffects. Because of the DA’s’ ineptitude, the accusers will be forever thought of as liars and the accused as having ‘gotten off’ on all charges brought against them but…</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="9e40"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="9e40">The stigma of having been accused of rape is inescapable.</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="cd5f"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="cd5f">This story is tragic on multiple levels, but it’s also a cautionary tale. Young athletes need to demonstrate strong decision-making skills before they initiate a sexual encounter with anyone. Here’s a big hint — a party with lots of alcohol is probably not the right place for that kind of fun. For poor judgment, at least, AJ and Michael have to own up to their own responsibility. That one night of “fun” ruined almost everything for them. Young women need to make good decisions as well. The same advice I just gave the athletes works for them too — don’t have sex with a guy you don’t know at a party because you’ve been drinking. Just don’t. Save everyone involved the grief that follows.</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="6ab4"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="6ab4">Brenda Tracy is a person who understands, probably better than anyone in my acquaintance, of how to deal with the conversation that all of us need to be involved in. She travels the country, speaking to athletes in high school and college about sexual assault and its ramifications. Her #SetTheExpectation campaign educates young men and women all over the country, including downloadable pledges for athletes to commit to upholding — <strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong"><em class="markup--em markup--p-em">setting the expectations</em></strong> for the teams in simple terms. Athletes sign the pledge, acknowledging that if they break any of the commitments against sexual violence, they will be dismissed from the team. And their coaches sign the pledge as well, committing themselves to dismissing any athlete, no matter who, from the team if they violate that pledge. #SetTheExpectation does exactly that, and binds athletes and coaches alike to a code of behavior.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="6ab4"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="6ab4">As for the rest of us, we need to continue this conversation. We need to expand it, to develop it, to wowrk together assertively to change the trend toward sexual violence in our society. We need to teach our kids to make better decisions, athletes and non-athletes alike. And we need to make sure that no one is afraid to report sexual violence against them to authorities.&nbsp;</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="6ab4"><br /></div><div class="graf graf--p" name="6ab4">That's our responsibility to the generations that follow us. Best get started, folks, because this is a Herculean task.</div><div class="graf graf--p" name="6ab4"><br /></div><script src="https://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">_uacct = "UA-1679002-1"; urchinTracker(); </script>Celina Summershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08581883122727085849noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26892817.post-20591264551319865732018-07-17T08:10:00.003-04:002018-07-17T08:10:38.436-04:00Classics, Epics, and the Theater of VengeanceA twelve book series...in twelve months.&nbsp;<script src="https://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">_uacct = "UA-1679002-1"; urchinTracker(); </script><div><br /></div><div>Normal people don't do that to themselves, but I think we've already established that I am anything but normal. Nearly 1.5 million words and 4800 pages. When you get right down to it, that's a hell of a commitment--not only for a writer, but for the reader as well. When <i>Theater of Vengeance</i> is released on Friday, July 20, I will hit the exact middle of the <i>Harlequinade's</i> story.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Obviously, <i>Theater of Vengeance</i> is the book where everything changes.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kdxh7JM7bm8/W03clCFkAeI/AAAAAAAABj8/jZNtc6AHc0MGAoygYI3NV9PI-3ZD3YVsgCLcBGAs/s1600/theaterofvengeance-mockup2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kdxh7JM7bm8/W03clCFkAeI/AAAAAAAABj8/jZNtc6AHc0MGAoygYI3NV9PI-3ZD3YVsgCLcBGAs/s320/theaterofvengeance-mockup2.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I grew up on the classics, as in the real classics. While most of my teenaged peers were out getting into trouble or trying to stay out of it, I was at home reading and studying the classics. Homer's two ancient epics about the Trojan War,&nbsp;<i>Iliad</i> and <i>Odyssey</i>. Virgil's fan-fiction, <i>The Aeneid</i>. Ovid's <i>Metamorphoses</i>. Greek and Latin authors writing the mythology of their cultures that have survived for over two millennia.</div><div><br /></div><div>The real classics.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>When I approach a story like <i>Asphodel</i> or <i>Harlequinade</i>, I'm creating new mythologies. Just like Virgil and Homer, I write those mythologies over the space of multiple books. Homer's epics had twenty-four books. Virgil's magnum opus had twelve.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I didn't consciously set out to write twelve long novels about my Harlequin character, though. I wish I had in a way, so I could cross my legs and say complacently over a single malt, neat, that "I wanted to pay homage to Virgil by creating twelve separate books in my epic." But nope--that's not how it went down.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>The Harlequin is just one of those characters that won't shut the hell up. Despite the incontrovertible fact that the Harlequin is a medieval pantomime character who never once in the course of legit <i>commedia dell'arte</i> spoke a single word, still he won't quit talking. He won't shut up until the last word of book twelve, and even then there's a good chance he'll find more to say if (and that's a big if) he survives.</div><div><br /></div><div>Someone asked me the other day how I would best describe myself as a writer. Oddly enough, I was originally stumped. As usual, the first thought that came to mind was something smartass. Can't escape the dominant parts of my personality so easily after all. And sure, there are lots of standard remarks I could make. A spec fic writer...a sci fi/fantasy/horror writer. The writer of books featuring strong female protagonists. An obsessed idiot who spends all her waking hours staring at a laptop screen while she tries to find ways to get just one more bloody death squeezed into a plot. But then, it occurred to me that in the end a writer cannot be defined. There's not one single description that any writer could arrive at for themselves. In the end, I'm no different. But I guess if I had to narrow it down to one summation, it'd be the following:&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I am a writer of modern epics featuring modern mythologies that reflect the changing culture and society I observe around me.</div><div><br /></div><div>If there's one thing I learned from reading the classical epics though, it's that you can't maintain the status quo throughout the course of four or ten or twelve books. Your plot, like your characters, have to reach turning points during which their comfort and security have to be stripped away. A good story can't continue on the same smooth, unbroken track. A heroine's story has to pivot in places so that she can confront unexpected challenges and instant, serious consequences for her actions.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Does it sound like I'm writing an apologia?&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>In a way, I am.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>With Cat's story in the <i>Harlequinade</i>, it would have been only too easy to keep her progressing down the same road. By the time she reached the end of her journey, though, she would have devolved into a trope...a predictable badass urban fantasy character. For a lot of folks, both writers and readers, that's perfectly all right. Reading is a form of entertainment, after all. We read fantasies so we can escape from the mendacity of the real world into worlds that exist solely to give our imaginations scope to breathe.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>But I'm not fond of tropes. I want my characters' journeys to trod upon unbroken paths and through unexpected obstacles. In the <i>Asphodel</i> series, I made my heroine deal with physical disabilities before she reached the end of her road. Kind of hard to win a sword fight if you can't walk, right? With Cat, a different kind of strength is required. She's an empath, a mage who can sense and influence the emotions of others. The challenges she faces come on a wholly different level, and to provide her those challenges I...well, no need to sugar coat it.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I screw her whole world up. Brutally.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>You see, even though the world Cat lives in is a fantasy, it's still life. We aren't challenged by what we expect. Challenges come from the unexpected, when in a single moment we confront the destruction of everything we hold dear or a choice where there isn't a good or right decision to make and you're only choosing between two bad options. That's how life works, whether it's on the battlefield at Troy or the underworld of <i>Asphodel </i>or in the dark world of magic and immortals in the <i>Harlequinade</i> or sitting here in my study, wondering why in the hell I'm up and blogging at seven in the morning after pulling an all-nighter. If you're reading any of my books, then I owe it to you to make sure that I don't spoon-feed you exactly what you expect to happen next. I can't take the easy way out because I know that to make a fantasy credible it has to feel like real life.</div><div><br /></div><div>And real life never takes the easy way out. Never. That's not an author being arbitrarily cruel to her characters either.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>*evil grin*</div><div><br /></div><div>You guys enjoy <i>Theater of Vengeance</i>.

You can find out more about the series at my BRAND SPANKING NEW website at <a href="http://www.celinasummers.com/">www.celinasummers.com</a>.<br /><br /><i>Theater of Desire</i> is the book where everything starts to change. You know as well as I do that any twelve-book series can't have everything go on without new conflicts and challenges and alliances. One person in the world has an idea of what happens in later books--my beta reader, Marguerite Butler. I've edited her since the late 2000s, first at Aurora Regency and then at Musa. She's beta read almost all my books, and she's the only person I discuss future plot points and character arcs with. She sent me some memorable hate mail when I killed one of her favorite characters off in Asphodel, and I still torture her about that.<br /><br />AND she has a fantastic blog that I'm addicted to at&nbsp;<a href="https://cowtowncrime.com/">https://cowtowncrime.com/</a>. Cowtown Crime is a true crime blog and I'm addicted to it because in the other series I'm working on, I deal with a lot of criminal stuff and the way she writes about legitimate true crimes really helps me to see how to present my fictional ones. The blog doesn't read like a boring recitation of stats and facts. The blog reads like fiction. You should check it out. It's addictive.<br /><br />At any rate...<br /><br />She's the only person on the planet who knows what my ultimate goals were for this series. I'm experimenting with a character arc that's extremely difficult to make work--you know...just to see if I can pull it off--and whenever Marguerite gets riled up about something I'm planning to do to a character/characters, I know I'm on the right track.<br /><br />She's been riled up a lot about <i>Harlequinade</i>.<br /><br />But this time, I've done something different with poor Marguerite. She read the first phase of <i>Harlequinade</i>, but not the second or the third. She has sort of an idea what happens, but nowhere even close to knowing how things end up. I didn't give her the later books to read. She has to wait, just like everyone else, so she's stayed riled up.<br /><br />I love riling her up. Gives me purpose.<br /><br />Here's the thing. A relationship with a good beta reader provides an author with the feedback they need to push the boundaries. If a writer spews out formulaic stories where everything that happens in book B happened in book and will happen in Book C, a beta reader isn't challenged. They're happy because they're reading what has already worked for them before. But if you don't write formula books...if you experiment with storylines that are dangerous (ie--read: DIFFERENT) then your beta readers are challenged. They have to shift their points of view about you as an author and they never know what to expect. A good beta reader wants to be challenged. They want to be riled up. When a beta says something like, "Oh, but this was so different from *insert name of last book*. It's not what I was expecting." then you probably need a new beta reader. If your beta reader's feedback is always some variant of, "Oh, this was so good! I love it just as much as *insert name of last book*. I knew she'd pick option A over option B." then you probably need to re-evaluate what you're writing.<br /><br />Challenge your readers. Don't hand them a book where they know how it's going to end when they open the book for the first time. Because if you challenge your readers, you're challenging yourself as a writer and that's exactly what you need to be doing. And remember, always, that a beta who says nothing but "This was so good. I loved it!" to every book you write isn't helping you. Betas are supposed to give you an honest critique of your work, both good and bad, and if they don't give you valid criticism then they're not fulfilling their purpose. Marguerite can love everything about the story or the characters or whatever, but she's not going to let one of my manuscripts slide without pointing out my writing tics (pet phrases or words) or plot issues. She knows that what I really need is the criticism. Her eyes are the first ones on the manuscript, and I rely upon her to give me an honest, valid critique. Because when she gives me an honest critique and then gets riled up about a plot point but still loves the story, I know I've done my job.<br /><br />And so has she.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BqnnpER9FRw/WyIThEKPK3I/AAAAAAAABjg/bXJCbJDhohgqqPFNdsMNLdl1YRQZSXV3QCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/theaterofdesire-1400%2B%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BqnnpER9FRw/WyIThEKPK3I/AAAAAAAABjg/bXJCbJDhohgqqPFNdsMNLdl1YRQZSXV3QCPcBGAYYCw/s320/theaterofdesire-1400%2B%25281%2529.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br /><br />At any rate, phase two of the <i>Harlequinade</i> begins today with <i>Theater of Desire</i>, so it's a good time to warn everybody that this is the book where everything begins to change. It's also a good time to give you some new insights about the series and how it came to be.<br /><br />So let me tell you a few secrets about&nbsp;<i>Harlequinade.&nbsp;</i><script src="https://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">_uacct = "UA-1679002-1"; urchinTracker(); </script><br /><div><br /></div><div>First off, yes--it's a legitimate twelve books in twelve months series (although there's a prequel that will come out in 2019 at some point). All twelve books clock in around 100,000 words. All twelve books were professionally edited (not by me) and designed (also not by me). All twelve books involve real magic:the world of the theater, and real fantasy magic: time travel, empathy, and a set of immortals who would do anything for ultimate power but are restricted from open warfare by the very strict rules of their game. If an immortal violates those rules, he is instantly obliterated by the ruthless magic of some unknown agency. The deeper into the series you go, the more magic there is.</div><div><br /></div><div>Second, the <i>Harlequinade </i>was written in stages, which is only to be expected with a million and a half words. The first phase of the series is comprised of the first four books: <i>Theater of Seduction, Theater of Deception, Theater of Cruelty,</i> and <i>Theater of War.</i> The second phase begins with <i>Theater of Desire, </i>followed by <i>Theater of Vengeance </i>and <i>Theater of Time</i>. Phase three consists of the last four books: <i>Theater of Spontaneity, Theater of Birth, Theater of Redemption, </i>and <i>Theater of Oblivion.</i>&nbsp;And then the prequel, <i>Theater of Power, </i>stands on its own.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Third, this series was shopped by my former agent for several years to traditional publishing houses. Every rejection started to sound the same after a while. I'll just give you the Cliff's Notes version: "I love this, love the writing, love the characters, love how different this is--BUT we don't know where to shelve it, so we're going to have to regretfully pass." I'm used to those kinds of rejections at this point. And I don't foresee writing anything that's going to meekly fall into the categories everyone expects. I like to write things that are different and that challenge the reader. So I doubt that ever changes.<br /><br />And finally, I leave you with a tagline for the remainder of the series. Have fun trying to puzzle it out.<br /><br /><b><i>When I was trapped in the ruins of Desire, Time extended his hand and set me free.</i></b><br /><b><i><br /></i></b>Y'all have a great weekend.

Bringing the <i>Carnival</i> trilogy to England allows her to fulfill an ambition beyond any other. After defeating the Harlequin and destroying most of the window of Time, the strange world of magic has receded from her world.</div><div style="border-color: rgb(218, 225, 231); border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.25; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; text-align: justify;">But it doesn’t take long for her and her husband, Dominic, to discover new dangers. Her panic attacks are getting worse, and now the company has come to the notice of other immortals—many of whom want her for themselves. As the magic of the <i>Carnival </i>trilogy winds around them all, old enemies become allies. The Harlequin is no longer trying to take Catherine but seems to be working to protect her instead.</div><div style="border-color: rgb(218, 225, 231); border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.25; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; text-align: justify;">Can she overcome her distrust and learn to work with the Warden of Time? Or will another immortal break through his guard? In the Theater of Desire, everything is starting to change.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><br />LONDON. THAT’S all.<br /><div><br /></div><div>London.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I resisted the urge to squeal like a teenage girl. The Royale Theater Troupe was going to play the West End. The day after we arrived in London, I stood across the street from the Dumas-Oxford Theatre and watched as our sets, costumes, and props were loaded in. Chris, our designer, had flown to the UK several months ago and supervised the construction of our new sets. I hadn’t even seen them yet.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>It’s funny, really. No one looking at the huge crates and packing boxes would ever guess the magic contained inside them. Right now, they looked like huge plywood boxes. In a few days, however, they would comprise the immense, fanciful sets for the&nbsp;<i>Carnival</i>&nbsp;trilogy, the story of when two young girls met and fell in love with two extraordinary young men.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Our history, believe it or not.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>After we’d signed a contract with James Harrison, the undisputed magnate of the West End, we’d invested much of our liquid capital into the four shows we were performing in London. First, we’d do the trilogy in true repertory. The audience would buy three tickets for three consecutive nights to see the story in its entirety. Then, we’d bring Harlequin to the London stage.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I was nervous about performing the trilogy again, and I’d made no bones about it. The trilogy was really a retribution our erstwhile enemy Phillip Lewis had created to punish Dominic and Alistair. After all, what could be crueler than forcing your captives to relive their heartbreak every night for two hundred and forty-one years? For two hundred and thirty-nine years, they’d only done the first show,&nbsp;<i>Carnival</i>. Three years ago, the trilogy had been born and performed in full for the first time. Once Phillip found me, he added the two sequel plays.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>After all, I was the culmination of the story.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Everything that happened in&nbsp;<i>Asylum</i>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<i>Sacrifice</i>&nbsp;had set the stage for my entrance into the tragedy. I, Catherine Brighton, who my husband thought was the reincarnation of the original Odette de Chevigny in the court of Louis XV….Odette, his first wife. I didn’t like to remember Odette, and I didn’t want to channel her onstage anymore either.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Unfortunately, it was starting to look as if I couldn’t channel her anyway. Although everyone else had been right back in the swing of things within a few days once we started reworking the trilogy, I’d hovered on the cusp of the power and never just dived right into it like I always had before. Those insidious shows changed us. They made Dominic more autocratic and Alistair more alluring. They made me anxious, even though now they shouldn’t. Phillip was gone; I’d obliterated his mind myself. Mary Houghton had been destroyed also.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>The dark council of mages in Medmenham had been obliterated by the Harlequin, my erstwhile enemy who had tormented me in some bizarre game and lost. He was probably sitting in his tacky throne-like chair, trying to figure out a way to repair the damage I’d done to his ceiling where every pane of glass was a moment of decision in time.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I had a rather large shard of that glass, actually— the shard where Dominic’s soul had hovered on the brink of life and death. The shard I’d broken just a split-second before he was lost to me forever. But with that shard had come uncertainty, too. The panic attacks I’d thought were a thing of the past had returned with a vengeance and were far more potent than they’d once been.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>So now I was broken too, just like that shard of glass.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Broken. Just like the Harlequin’s little dolls.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I hadn’t mentioned that to Dominic yet. I watched as the stagehands wrestled a huge crate of flats out of the truck, sliding it carefully onto the loading dock. They had no idea that what they were handling was actual history. No one did, save the cast, and it wasn’t something we talked about. Not even among ourselves.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“Getting nervous?”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I looked up. Dominic was standing a few feet away, watching me with a small smile curving his lips.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“I keep seeing zeroes and dollar signs on the wrong side of the decimal point,” I said lightly. “That and all the articles scoffing about an upstart amateur American troupe being stupid enough to try a true repertory series on the West End. Between the two, I’m petrified.”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“The show will sell out for the entire run. Zeroes should be a positive thing.”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“I know.” I looked up at him from under my lashes. “Just…concerned. I’ll be all right.”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“Well, there’s nothing for you to do here, really,” he pointed out. “Shall we go? I have a call to make.”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“A call?” I laughed. “Do people even talk that way anymore?”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“I do. I’m meeting an antiquarian who has a set of Goethe I’m interested in.”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“You want to go to a bookstore? On our first day in London? For Goethe?”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“Of course not.” Dominic raised his hand and hailed a cab. “We’re going to his house. It won’t take long.”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>&nbsp;“We need to go house hunting.”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I sighed as he opened the door for me and slid into the waiting car. Dominic had point-blank refused to take a house or apartment without seeing it first. We’d had a fairly serious disagreement about that, but in the end he’d won with one word.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Rats.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“Look at this article,” he’d said, coming into my office with a magazine. “Apparently the entire theater district is infested with rats. How do you expect anyone in the company to move into a place sight unseen? It could be dripping with rats and then we’d be stuck in some rat trap for a year.”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>After that conversation, I’d insisted that no matter where we moved the cats were coming with us.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Once we'd gotten pet passports, plus all their shots and microchips, we’d sedated Spawn and Demon and they’d flown with us to England. Even now, they were in their comfy crate, totally pissed off at me, at the hotel. And Dominic had won the living arrangements argument, insisting that when we got to London I would take charge of the business of the theater as usual while leaving the housing situation to him.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>That’s why we were all currently lodged in a sterile hotel chain.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“Do you realize how impossible it will be to find lodgings for the entire cast and crew in metropolitan London?” I asked, warming to my theme.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“Not impossible,” my husband replied as the cab pulled into traffic.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“I don’t even know where to start. I don’t know enough about London to even begin the search.”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“As I told you already, I’ll take care of everything. You have enough to worry about.” Dominic didn’t seem that concerned. But I handled the accounting for the company myself. If he knew how our capital had been deprived by this move to the UK, he might not have been so flippant.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“Wherever we end up, it’s going to cost us a fortune.” I caught myself gnawing on my thumbnail, so I dropped my hand into my lap. “London is horrifically expensive. We should have stayed on Broadway a couple more years and built up the bank account first.”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“Oh, it won’t cost that much. If you’re worried about the company’s finances, I’m more than willing to foot it a loan.” He smiled lazily. “The interest will be a pleasure to collect.”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“Lecher.”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“Guilty as charged.”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>The taxi pulled up in front of a block of houses. We were in Mayfair, which seemed only appropriate considering why we were here. Only a wealthy person, like an antiquarian, was able to afford a house like these. The entire block was made up of a series of tall Georgian townhouses, their facades broken only by a few flower boxes and front doors with small stoops and Palladian columns. Dominic paid the driver then took my elbow as we went up the four steps of the stoop.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>To my surprise, Dominic opened the door and walked right in. Confused, I followed.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“Seriously? Shouldn’t you have at least knocked?”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>The entrance hall was a long, narrow room with a gorgeous staircase winding both up and down. The whole room was open and light, and the terrace was clearly visible through the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Whoever this antiquarian was, he certainly had hired a fantastic interior designer. The walls were painted a cool gray above creamy wainscoting that seemed original to the house. The floors were polished to such a shine that the furniture was reflected in it, and while the furnishings were modern they didn’t clash with the feel of the centuries’ old building.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“He said he’d be on the first floor and just to come up,” Dominic said.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“We are on the first floor.”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“Not in Britain. Here, this is the ground floor.”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“That doesn’t make sense.”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“Apparently it does to them. Shall we go upstairs?”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Together, we climbed the staircase—which made me extremely jealous, I might add—and emerged into an immense drawing room. The door in the back wall alerted me there was another room behind this one, but this room took my breath away. I glanced at the comfortable but still elegant furniture, the tasteful art on the walls, that plush rug covering the wooden floor, the recessed fireplace, the two cats dozing on the sectional…&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I didn’t have to ask if this was our house. Spawn and Demon were curled up together in a multi-colored heap.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“Dominic, how did you pull this off?”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“I bought the property right after we signed with James,” he confessed. “Then I hired an interior designer, who oversaw the renovations. I am not as content as you are in apartments or lofts, and I wanted to make certain that you had your own home while we were here. The furnishings are a bit sparse, but I thought you’d enjoy shopping for your own. In the meantime, we’re moved in and that’s one less stress you have to worry about.”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I ran my hand along the velvet plush settee facing the sectional, and a twist of guilt made me take a step back. “But what about the company? How can we put ourselves in a gorgeous house and leave them in hotels?”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“Love, I don’t think you understand. I said I bought the property, not the house.”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I wasn’t quite catching what he was trying to say.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“We own all the houses except one on this side of the block,” he explained patiently. “They’ve all been renovated into apartments and furnished. In fact there actually are four apartments more than our American crew needs, so we have an option for additional income should it become necessary. That’s even with me setting aside an apartment for David and Christopher when they come, or family like Eleanor’s parents or Janet’s children or your father. This is my gift not just to you, but to them. If they ever decide to retire or to leave the company they each own their own flat in Mayfair. It’s a nest egg for all of them. As for you, I—”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I stopped him with a kiss. He tightened his arms around me, sliding his fingers into my hair. I broke away, laughing, and he was laughing too.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“Are you going to thank me properly?”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“Of course I am, but that will have to be later.”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>“Later?”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>He sounded so horrified that I laughed again. But his eyes were sparkling and his body relaxed. This was something I had yet to become accustomed to. Since I’d shattered the Harlequin’s glass ceiling that allowed him to travel through time, Dominic had slowly…gradually learned how to relax. If I woke up in the middle of the night, he was sleeping next to me and not sitting in a chair mounting a psychic guard so I could rest. The cares and burdens of over two centuries had fallen from his psyche, and he was healing as a result.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>That alone made everything we’d endured worth it.&nbsp;</div><script src="https://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">_uacct = "UA-1679002-1"; urchinTracker(); </script>
